Following his successful Olympic debut, decathlete Janek Õiglane spent some time in Nice. He is excited about the closing ceremony.

"Carrying the Estonian flag is as big an honor for me as successfully representing Estonia," Õiglane acknowledged. "I'm very excited to do it."

Archer Reena Pärnat, who was also flag-bearer at the opening ceremony, returned home to Lausanne after her event, but wanted to enjoy more of the Olympic atmosphere.

"It's been really enjoyable spending time stress-free at the Olympic Village and cheering on the other Estonians in their competitions," Pärnat said.

"I hope the closing ceremony will be as amazing as the opening one!" she added.

For the closing ceremony, Team Estonia will be parade uniforms designed by Reet Aus.
