I mean, it's awesome that Erin Jackson and Frank Del Duca are carrying the flag for Team USA... again . I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that they both got picked because they're, like, super popular and have a lot of fans . But seriously, how cool is it that more Black women are breaking barriers in winter sports? Let's keep those stories going and get even more talented athletes on the ice . And Frank, I'm sure being a flag bearer means you get to wear the cute little uniform and wave at people instead of actually competing...
I'm kinda curious how Frank Del Duca feels about being the flag bearer but also an Army sergeant in Lake Placid, NY He's got that Italian heritage thing going on, which is cool, but what's the situation like with his bobsledding career? Is he gonna try and get a medal this time around or just enjoy the moment? And can we talk about how amazing Erin Jackson's win was for Black women in winter sports? She's an inspiration to so many people, and I love that she's using her platform to promote more diversity in the sport!
I'm so stoked that Erin Jackson is carrying the US flag at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics ! It's a huge accomplishment for her, not just as an athlete but also as a role model for young girls and women of color. Her story is truly inspiring and shows how far Black athletes have come in winter sports ๏ธ. And Frank Del Duca being the flag bearer too? That's awesome! He's got that Italian flair and I'm sure he'll rock it Can't wait to see them both in action on the ice
just saw that erin jackson & frank del duca are gonna carry the us flag at milan cortina winter olympics honestly i think its dope that a black woman is defending her gold medal in winter sports, its not always easy to break through barriers in male dominated fields. also cant wait to see frank del duca's reaction as the flag bearer, lol seems like he was totally surprised https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...flag-bearers-milan-cortina-winter-games/12553
