Olympic protocol states the first athletes that enter the stadium during the opening ceremony are those from Greece in recognition of Greece being the home of the Olympics (where the Ancient Olympics first began).
According to Olympic tradition, the athletes from Greece are the first to enter the stadium and the athletes from the host country are the last to enter the stadium.
The first country in the parade is always Greece.The last country is the host nation.In between, the countries march in alphabetical order according to the official language of the host nation.
Greece is always the first country in the Olympic Opening Ceremony, because the Olympics originated from Greece.
The 1928 Summer Games were the first in which the opening ceremony saw Greece enter the stadium first and the host country, The Netherlands, enter last. This became tradition that is continued today.
Greece always leads the ceremony, the host country is always last. Since the Olympics began in Greece they are given the honor of being the first to walk during the opening ceremonies.
Greece is always the first to enter. The country that is hosting the Olympics is the last to enter
Greece was the country that started the olympics so they won in the first olympics.
For opening parade of athletes in the Olympics, Greece comes in first and the last nation to come in is the host nation. In between come the nations in alphabetical order. For the closing parade, the first and the last nations are the same, Greece and the host nation, but in between, all of the athletes of all the participating nations come in a huge mass and in no particular order. This closing procedure was brought about by an idea of a young Chinese apprentice carpenter living in Australia who wrote to the International Olympics Committee suggesting that all of the athletes mingle in the closing parade. This was officially adopted from the 1956 Melbourne Olympics up to the present.
I asked you first.
The country which appears first in the Olympic Parade of Nations is always Greece, because Greece started the Olympic Games thousands of years ago. And the last country to parade is the host country.
It is called the Opening Ceremonies.
