Paralympic gold medalists Elena Semechin and Maurice Schmidt proudly carried the German flag at the closing ceremony in Paris. Semechin's triumph in the 100m breaststroke and Schmidt's unbeatable fencing skills earned them the honor.
Delegation leader Karl Quade hailed them as deserving flag bearers and exceptional role models. At the opening ceremony, triathlete Martin Schulz and kayaker Edina Müller had the privilege of bearing the German flag.
