Shuster has already brought home Olympic gold and bronze. This is his 5th games. In a statement, he said, “Being elected as one of the flag bearers is a tremendous honor. When thinking back to my Opening Ceremony experiences, I cannot help but be so proud to lead Team USA into an Olympic Winter Games.”
