ATLANTA — A pair of Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets were in the spotlight in Tokyo this morning during the Opening Ceremony to the Olympic Games, as they served as their nations' flag bearers.
The school posted about the honors early Friday for a Tech graduate competing in his third Olympics as a swimmer and an incoming first-year student who is a swimmer.
Andrew Chetcuti, who graduated from the school with a degree in biology, carried flag for Malta while Berke Saka, the incoming student, carried Turkey's flag.
