The 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics will come to an end Sunday. The Closing Ceremony offers one final moment for athletes to represent their nation and celebrate their achievements.
Orlando Pride and U.S. Women’s National Team star Alex Morgan knows the feeling.
“The Closing Ceremony was really such a great moment for us to be able to show off our gold medal and be a part of the true Team USA,” Morgan said of the 2012 London Games, where she and the U.S. women took home gold with six wins in six games.
Walking into Olympic Stadium was particularly sweet not just because of the weight of her gold medal, but because soccer players don’t get to participate in the Opening Ceremony.
