Lizzy Yarnold has been named as the flagbearer for Great Britain at the opening ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
The 29-year-old defending skeleton champion was selected for the honour by her GB team-mates.
She has previously carried the flag, for the closing ceremony at the 2014 Sochi Games.
Yarnold spoke to BBC sport about being chosen and the expected inclement weather forecast for the ceremony: "I wanted to be part of the team and the opening ceremony regardless of the weather.
"I was asked to keep it confidential and it was really difficult not to tell people. Hopefully they're happy.
"For our parents and grandparents watching at home that is the moment. When they announce 'Great Britain' and your skin just tingles and the emotions begin.
"I hope I can hold the flag right out in front of me like Sir Steve Redgrave did with a straight arm all the way around - we'll see."
