Real-life couple Rossella Fiamingo and Gregorio Paltrinieri will be Italy’s flag bearers for the Paris Games closing ceremony on Sunday, the Italian Olympic Committee announced. Fiamingo won a team fencing gold in Paris to add to her silver medal from Rio de Janeiro and bronze from Tokyo.
Paltrinieri won silver and bronze in the 1,500- and 800-meter freestyle swimming events, respectively, to give him five Olympic medals for his career. The engaged couple won their medals within about a half-hour of each other during the first week of the Summer Games.
