Hrvatske uzdanice za osvajanje medalje na XXXIII. Olimpijskim igrama u Parizu, džudašica Barbara Matić i strijelac Giovanni Cernogoraz ponijeli su hrvatsku zastavu na svečanosti otvaranja održanoj na rijeci Seini u petak.
Cernogoraz je tako postao deveti sportaš, a Matić druga sportašica koji su nosili hrvatsku zastavu na svečanosti otvaranja ljetnih Olimpijskih igara.
Cernogoraz je prije 12 godina u Londonu osvojio olimpijsko zlato u trapu, a na svoje treće Igre dolazi kao aktualni svjetski i europski prvak. Matić će, pak, po drugi put u karijeri nastupiti na Igrama, prije tri godine je u Tokiju bila peta, no potom je osvojila dva naslova svjetske prvakinje, a sada je i aktualna europska prvakinja u kategoriji do 70 kilograma.
Kako je po prvi put svečano otvaranje održano u samom gradu, a ne na stadionu, tako su i sportaši u svečanom mimohodu plovili brodovima po Seini, a hrvatska je delegacija zbog svoje brojnosti imala jednu brodicu samo za sebe.
Hrvatsku će na Igrama u Parizu predstavljati ukupno 73 sportaša u 15 sportova.

Po drugi put su zastave zemalja sudionica nosili po jedan sportaš i sportašica kako bi se naglasila spolna ravnopravnost, prvi se put to dogodilo prije tri godine u Tokiju kada su našu zastavu ponijeli zlatni iz Rija bacačica diska Sandra Perković i strijelac Josip Glasnović.
Dosada su čast nositi hrvatsku zastavu imala trojica varterpolista, Perica Bukić (Atlanta 1996), Dubravko Šimenc (Atena 2004), Josip Pavić (Rio de Janeiro 2016), dvojica rukometaša, Ivano Balić (Peking 2008) i Venio Losert (London 2012), stolnotenisač Zoran Primorac (Sydney 2000), dok je prvi nositelj hrvatske zastave bio tenisač Goran Ivanišević u Barceloni 1992. godine.
