Eliud Kipchoge Carries Olympic Emblem at Milano Cortina; Kenyan Skiers Lead Team Kenya

Marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge took part in the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony as a carrier of the Olympic emblem. He was not one of Kenya’s flag-bearers. The National Olympic Committee of Kenya named Alpine skiers Sabrina Simader and Issa Laborde to carry Kenya’s flag at the Games.

Two different ceremony roles

Carrying the Olympic emblem in the opening ceremony is distinct from leading a national team as its flag-bearer. The original preview blurred those roles. Correcting that distinction matters because Kipchoge was not listed as a Kenyan Winter Games competitor.

Kenya’s participation in the Winter Olympics centered on its winter-sport athletes. The National Olympic Committee of Kenya’s official site announced Simader and Laborde as Kenya’s flag-bearers. A ceremony video showing Kipchoge carrying the Olympic emblem was published here. The Games were held in February 2026.
