Flag bearer LeBron James (together with Coco Gauff) channeled his interior Founding Father when he held the Group USA flag.

The unique portray of “Washington Crossing the Delaware” was painted in 1851 by artist Emanuel Leutze and is a mainstay in historical past textbooks throughout the nation. Enjoyable reality: that model of the American flag didn’t exist till 1777.
