Similar to the opening ceremony, many details about the closing ceremony have been kept under wraps. Swimmer Katie Ledecky and rower Nick Mead will be the flag bearers during the closing ceremony.

Yet Justin Best, an investment-banking analyst at San Francisco-based Union Square Advisors, has managed to defy the ordinary. Between photo ops, celebrations, and press gatherings, Best, 26, sat down with Business Insider to talk about how he juggled his job as a banker and his intense training schedule. Best started at Union Square Advisors a few months after he competed in Tokyo in 2021. Jordan Vanderstoep, a rower a few years older than Best who previously worked at Union Square, also helped Best get the job. "So having places that support Olympic dreams truly makes it possible, and I'm happy to say Union Square is one of those."
