Double medal-winner Dostál to carry Czech flag at Olympics closing ceremony

The Czech flag at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro will be carried by canoeist Josef Dostál. Dostál picked up a silver medal in the kayak single 1,000 m category before achieving bronze with the Czech Republic in the kayak four 1,000 m. The Czech tricolor was carried at the opening ceremony by Lukáš Krpálek, who subsequently won the country’s only gold medal so far in judo.
