Who Should Be Canada's Flagbearer?
The Huffington Post Canada

We can't believe it's almost over. The Sochi Olympics are in their final hours and only a few questions remain. One of them is who will carry Canada's flag at the Closing Ceremony on Sunday?

The Canadian Olympic Committee will pick the flag bearer shortly after the end of the men's hockey gold medal game on Sunday. Canada has no shortage of worthy candidates. We list a few of them below. Who do you think should receive the honour?

Junio didn't win a medal but the speedskater made headlines when he gave up his spot in the 1000m to his teammate Denny Morrison, who would skate to a silver.

Morrison himself started a campaign to get Junio nominated for the closing ceremony honour.
