Flavor Flav Sends ‘Bid’ To Be 2028 L.A. Olympics Torchbearer

Flavor Flav has applied to be a torchbearer at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

From showing up in blinged-out American merchandise to applying to be a torchbearer for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, the 65-year-old rapper is eager to keep supporting Team USA. According to the Olympics, the role of a torchbearer began “after being lit in Olympia, Greece.” The Olympic torch “started its journey from Greece to France at sea on board the majestic three-masted ship Bélem, crossing the Mediterranean from Athens to Marseille.” The torchbearers are described as “the faces of the Forerunner Relays; with their energy, they ramp up the atmosphere in local communities, helping France get in the mood to celebrate the Games.” I would have never dreamed of nothing like this…I’ll be able to breathe slow, walk fast, and hold the torch with a smile on my face, because I realize how prestigious this event is,” according to the Associated Press.
