2016 Rio Olympic Games in Brazil Aug 05-21,2016 - Michael Phelps selected to carry the US flag during Olympic opening ceremony



The most decorated athlete in Olympic history will carry the United States flag during the opening ceremony for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games

Michael Phelps was selected in a vote by members of the U.S. Olympic team. The decision was announced Wednesday morning Aug 03,2016

Shortly after the news, Phelps' fiancee Nicole posted this photo of their baby, writing, 'I told @boomerrphelps that his daddy @m_phelps00's is going to be carrying the #American Flag in opening ceremonies and he thought it was the coolest thing ever!! #proudfamily #rio2016'



Michael Phelps was a logical choice heading into his fifth Summer Games. He has won 18 golds and 22 medals overall, far more than any other athlete.
