The two aren't related... or so they think.
We are big fans of #2Chenz and we would love to help you figure out if you are actually related. Shoot us a DM!
— Ancestry (@Ancestry) February 22, 2018
At least one of the Chenz supports the plan. Could we have another pair of Team USA relatives?!
AHHHH HAHA YES https://t.co/mvtZVCv4uy

Jessie Diggins will carry the US flag at the Pyeongchang Olympic closing ceremony. With Erin Hamlin having done the opening, this is the first time women have been picked as U.S. flagbearers for both ends of an Olympics since Dawn Staley and Mia Hamm in 2004.

Jessie Diggins, gold medalist in cross-country skiing, was elected to carry the U.S. flag at Sunday’s Closing Ceremony. Awesome choice!No athlete at these Games is as enthusiastic as Diggins. She has also been very vocal about antidoping.

Pinch Me, This Must Be A Dream...
Team USA has won 21 total medals so far in PyeongChang. More than half of those medals have come from the women of Team USA. For some athletes, the past 24 hours might have felt like a dream. How long do you think it will take them to get used to that new hardware around their necks??
Sooo I woke up this morning and realized this ACTUALLY happened. Good thing I got my nails done!! 😀🤷♀️ #golden pic.twitter.com/01OkgZIaeK
