Sport. The

And More Flag

Than Bearers

Sport. For an Olympic athlete carrying his/her country’s

national flag during the parade of nations at the
opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is an
honour and privilege. During the parade,
participating athletes march into the stadium
country by country, proudly carrying the flag of their
nation and leading an entourage of other athletes
from that country in a wonderful display of colour
and pageantry.
