Flag Bearers from the Frozen Tracks
Since biathlon became an Olympic discipline in 1960, at least one biathlete has led their nation’s flag at every Winter Games. In total, 61 athletes have done so in 69 instances, with a record nine leading their countries in Lillehammer 1994. From tiny delegations to powerhouse teams, biathletes have become the go-to choice for carrying national pride onto the ice and snow.
