Tom Daley and Helen Glover have been confirmed as the flagbearers for Team GB at the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Diver Daley, who is a four-time Olympic medallist, is preparing to compete in his fifth Olympic Games.
Meanwhile, two-time Olympic rowing champion Glover will be competing at her fourth Olympics, and the duo have been confirmed as the flagbearers for Great Britain at Friday's opening ceremony.
"I am extremely proud. Being able to be flagbearer at the opening ceremony is a dream come true," Daley told BBC Sport when asked about the honour.
"This Olympics is something I would consider to be a bonus Olympics. This Olympics has been about enjoying it, embracing every moment and taking everything in as much as I can. To be flagbearer too is just the icing on the cake.
"Helen is such an incredible athlete and we were talking about our kids and our reasons for getting back into our sports.
"Being a sportsperson and a parent changes your psychology and puts things into perspective. That's something that will be really special to share with Helen."
Meanwhile, Glover added: "I never thought I would be an Olympian. Being part of history as a flagbearer, I haven't really got my head round it yet.
"Everyone I have told so far has cried, and I cried when I was told, which goes to show how much of an honour it is and how much it means."
The opening ceremony for the 2024 Games will take place on the River Seine in Paris on Friday, with athletes travelling on boats along the river.
