Wanaka bronze medal-winner Zoi Sadowski-Synnott will carry the New Zealand flag at PyeongChang Winter Olympics closing ceremony.

The teenage snowboarder Sadowski-Synnott, who reached the podium in the big air event this week, was selected ahead of fellow bronze winner, and Wanaka teen, halfpipe freeskier Nico Porteous.

The Games will close overnight, bringing an end to New Zealand's campaign in which it ended a 26-year Winter Olympic medal drought.
