He went back and carried the flag in the closing ceremony
He was chosen to be flag bearer for closing ceremony so must have gone back for that. I think athletes have to leave the village within 3 days of their event ending so most probably head off and some come back.
That explains it then.

I mentioned this yesterday. He flew home last week to go to the Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna, which were cancelled. They can only stay in Olympic Village for 3 nights after their event finishes apparently so had flights home sorted and flights to Vienna. And the plan then was to travel back for the closing ceremony from Vienna. It was covered on the Examiner Olympics podcast that sad fuckers like me listen to.
There was at least 2 swimmers on our flight home last Thursday that were back at the closing ceremony so Iād say a good crew come back for the party on the last day.
Some of the countries have a residence for athletes who come out of the Village after the 3 days who may want to hang around. Ireland jas this time as well. Some avail of it, others donāt. Rhys seems to have had a ball.

The leg was amputated on Monday.
Cc @Halfpipe Wiffen was on the radio this morning and identified as an Armagh man.
He also said he had been an altar boy. Swimming and altar boy - thatās some roll of the dice by his parents.

Poor story here. She knew she couldnāt compete, they had a sub on standby but she hid it and took the place.

Iāll have to edit this, she says there was no reserve, which isnāt what I was told but that may be true. In which case, chapeau.
Ah, the plot thickens around when she got injured.
In these more enlightened times people can identify however they so choose, but Daniel is firmly within the Down panhandle that gives us access to Lough Neagh. There have been long battles over this territory, once he chose to put on the St Michales Magheralin jersey Danielās stake was put firmly in Down territory.
