Discuss opening ceremony of modern olympics |
| Answer» The opening ceremony of the modern Olympics is called the Parade of Nations, where teams from each nation enter the main stadium as a procession. Athletes enter the stadium in alphabetical order with their nations according to the spelling of their country in the host nations language. The protocol of the modern Olympic Games is that the Greek team always enters first to commemorate the ancient origins of the modern Olympics and the host nation\'s team enters last. After the Olympic Games are officially declared open, thousands of doves are released to symbolize free spirit and world peace. The opening ceremony also includes music, speeches, and pageantry. At the end of the opening ceremony, the Olympic flag is raised, trumpets are played, and cannons boom in salute. The opening ceremony is often described as a complete extravaganza that is enjoyed by all, the young and old. | |
