LeBron James, Coco Gauff Named Team USA Flagbearers At Paris Olympics

Tennis sensation Coco Gauff has been named as the female flag bearer for Team USA at the Paris Olympics, alongside basketball icon LeBron James. Gauff, the world’s No. 2 women’s tennis player and U.S. Open champion, said she “could not be more proud to lead my teammates with LeBron as we showcase our dedication and passion.” Both athletes were selected by Team USA members, with Gauff being nominated by friend and fellow tennis player Chris Eubanks. This opportunity holds special significance for Gauff, who missed the Tokyo Olympics due to COVID, but considers representing the USA a long-held “dream.” (ET)
