Canoe slalom great Jessica Fox and hockey player Eddie Ockenden will sail along the Seine through the grandeur of Paris during the Olympic opening ceremony carrying the national flag.

Jessica Fox will sail along the Seine through the grandeur of Paris during the Olympic opening ceremony with a flag in her hand and a tear in her eye. There might be nothing like carrying the national flag on home soil, but for Fox, doing it in France is the next best thing.

Tasmanian Eddie Ockenden, 37, who has played 400 hockey games for Australia, will be beside her at the ceremony on Friday night, local time. He may not yet be a household name, but he will be by Saturday. “He’s so humble, you’d never know he’s coming to his fifth Games,” said fellow Kookaburra, Aran Zalewski.

Australians covet those medals. But they gathered at the French mint on Wednesday for something equally special; to celebrate those who will carry the nation’s flag at the opening ceremony, one of the greatest honours in Australian sport.
