NoHoJoe Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 What was unique about the order of the countries entrance during the opening ceremonies? BRING BASEBALL BACK TO MONTREAL!!!! MON AMOURS SIEMPRE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 As I have said elsewhere I missed the opening ceremony, but from memory Greece usually enter first and the hosts last, so I assume its the only time Greece didn't enter first. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesCraven Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 The Greek flagbearer came in first, then later rejoined his teammates as they entered last...in Greek alphabetical order for the other countries. "I better go take a long walk off a short pier or something."Some people on this bolard have told me to do just that.My "Ron Mexico" alias is "Jon Tobago".

JamesCraven Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 "James Craven got the right answer. Aussie, did you mean a-zed in Sydney?" Didn't you read the response above yours? Besides, Olympic protocol calls for Greece to enter first, then the countries in the host country's language, and then the host country. The IOC made an exception for this Olympiad for Greece, allowing the Greeks to have their flag bearer enter first, the the countries in Greek alphabetical order (Alpha to Omega), and finally the Greek team last.
