Gold medal trampolinist Rosie MacLennan to carry flag in Rio

OTTAWA – Olympic gold medallist Rosie MacLennan will carry Canada’s flag into the opening ceremony of the Rio Summer Games.

The star trampoline athlete from King City, Ont., was named Canada’s flag-bearer today in Ottawa.

She was Canada’s only gold medallist at the 2012 London Olympics.

Triathlete Simon Whitfield carried the flag into the stadium four years ago in London.

It’s been a challenging lead-up for the 27-year-old MacLennan.

Her training was derailed last fall due to a concussion.
