Kostner has an elite athletic pedigree: Her father, Erwin, served as captain of the Italian national hockey team and played in the 1984 Olympics, and her mother, Patrizia, was a nationally-ranked figure skater.
Kostner, who was visibly moved upon hearing the news, called carrying the flag a "lifetime dream" and said, "It is a very great honor to represent Italy and young people around the world." Kostner's cousin, Isolde, was Italy's flag-bearer at the 2002 Salt Lake Games.
