Very silly of them to rename themselves to the same name, but good luck to Team Ireland flag bearers.
I know Lowry is hot right now, but it just feels odd to pick a golfer as the flag bearer at the Olympics.
I’m surprised they pick this late in the day but what do I know?
They deserve this honour ,I am pleased for them both
Lowry is a good choice. He’s probably the highest profile male Olympian(bar Rory) and is always proud to wave the Irish flag. Literally has the tricolour on his golf shoes. He regularly shares Irish sporting success be it athletics, rugby or whatever on his socials and shows genuine enthusiasm to be part of team Ireland.
If anyone doesn’t know Lavin’s journey to the Olympics, it’s worth looking up. Absolutely well deserved flag bearer. True embodiment of resilience, dedication and talent. Incredible honor and wish them both the best!
Hon Limerick!
Was there a tradition the youngest member of the Olympic team would carry the flag or did i imagine that?
