Wendl and Arlt to carry German flag at closing ceremony after snub

German luge icons Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt will carry the German flag at the Winter Olympics closing ceremony on Sunday following consternation that they were overlooked for the opening ceremony in favour of Games debutant Leon Draisaitl. The ice hockey star was chosen for the opening ceremony in Milan partly by public vote despite his lack of Olympic pedigree.
