A pair of Olympic veterans participating in their fifth Olympic Games will get the honor of serving as flag bearers for the United States at the closing ceremony. Hilary Knight and Evan Bates will lead the American contingent when it participates in Milan Cortina's farewell on Sunday.
Knight, the captain of the women's hockey team that took down Canada on Thursday to win gold, has had a particularly eventful time at this year's Olympics as she took the opportunity to propose to Team USA speedskater Brittany Bowe.
