Designated to march into the opening ceremony as 111th among the delegations, Team China will be spearheaded by two flag-bearers－men's taekwondo reigning champion Zhao Shuai and women's volleyball star Zhu Ting, who were confirmed by the Chinese Olympic Committee on Saturday as being selected to shoulder the duty of honor.
Zhu helped the Chinese women's squad claim a high-profile gold medal in volleyball five years ago in Rio, and Zhao made history by winning China's first Olympic gold in men's taekwondo when he triumphed in the 58 kg category in Brazil.
