Greek basketball star Yannis Adetokumbo will carry the national flag at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris, the Greek Olympic Committee announced.

On the official page of the games, it is also written that he will be joined in the same role by Antigoni Ntrismpioti, a former two-time European champion in fast walking.

Adetokumbo led his national team in recent Olympic qualifiers to triumph in the group and a visa to Paris on home soil.

The Greeks hosted the tournament - they defeated Slovenia in the semi-finals and Croatia in the final.

The Milwaukee basketball player was twice named MVP of the NBA League, in 2019 and 2020, as well as once in the NBA Finals when the "Bucks" became champions in 2021.
