Xandra Velzeboer en Jorrit Bergsma vlaggendragers sluitingsceremonie Winterspelen 21.02.2026

At the closing ceremony of the Winter Games in Verona, Italy, speed skater Jorrit Bergsma and short track speed skater Xandra Velzeboer will be the flag bearers for the Netherlands. Bergsma, at 40 years old, earned his second gold medal twelve years after his first, with his selection being a recognition of his entire career and sustained excellence against strong competition. This honor is not going to Jens van 't Wout, the most successful Dutch Olympian of these Games, who already carried the flag during the opening ceremony at San Siro stadium in Milan. The closing ceremony will take place in the historic Arena di Verona, a Roman amphitheater with a capacity of 20,000 spectators, and is scheduled to begin at 8:30 PM.
