Silver medal-winner Vadlejch to be flag-bearer a closing ceremony

The Czech flag at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in Tokyo on Sunday will be carried by javelin thrower Jakub Vadlejch. The 30-year-old athlete picked up a silver medal in the men’s javelin event on Saturday with a throw of 87.58 metres, his best result of the season.

The Czech tricolor was carried at the opening ceremony by the two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitová and Chicago Bulls point guard Tomáš Satoranský.
