Olympic Games ceremonies of the Ancient Olympic Games were an integral part of these Games; the modern Olympic games have opening, closing and medal ceremonies. Some of the elements of the modern ceremonies harken back to the Ancient Games from which the Modern Olympics draw their ancestry. An example of this is the prominence of Greece in both the opening and closing ceremonies. During the 2004 Games, the medal winners received a crown of olive branches, which was a direct reference to the Ancient Games, in which the victor's prize was an olive wreath. The various elements of the ceremonies are mandated by the Olympic Charter and cannot be changed by the host nation. Even the artistic portion of the opening and closing ceremonies must meet the approval of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).The ceremonies have evolved over the centuries. Ancient Games incorporated ceremonies to mark the beginning and ending of each successive game. There are both similarities and differences between the ancient Olympic ceremonies and their modern counterparts. While the presentation of the Games has evolved with improvements in technology and the desire of the host nations to showcase their own artistic expression, the basic events of each ceremony have remained unchanged. The presentation of the Opening and Closing Ceremonies continue to increase in scope, scale and expense with each successive celebration of the Games, but they are still steeped in tradition.

Nowhere on the Internet was I able to find a picture of the 2004 Netherlands Antilles team at the Opening Ceremony of the 2004 Games. However, I did find the site of the Netherlands Antilles Olympic Committee. There is a page on their site where you can contact them. I would think they would have pictures or would know of where pictures could be obtained. Click on the 'NAOC' link below to access their site. The three person team for the 2004 Games were: 1) Churandy Martina - 100 meter dash (and flag bearer) 2) Geronimo Goeloe - 200 meter dash 3) Eddy Stibbe - Equestrian

All sports will have at least one session with seats starting from 20£ / 31US$, but sessions that are usually oversubscribed have the higher price tags. Athletics (725£ / 1,124US$), Swimming (450£ / 700US$), and Cycling (325£ / 500US$) are among the most popular and good final tickets for Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Boxing, and Diving won't be cheap. The opening and closing ceremony will be at the new constructed Olympic Stadium which has a capacity of 80,000 seats. With organisers expecting 250,000 people to flow into Olympic Park each day of the games, this is likely to be the biggest Olympic Games yet.
