List of standard bearers for the 1960 Summer Olympics

Invasion of the Nations

The list of standard-bearers for the 1960 Summer Olympics is given by the standard-bearers at the opening ceremony.

When the nations marched in, athletes from all participating countries moved into the Olympic Stadium in Rome . At the opening ceremony, the individual teams were led by a flag bearer from the ranks of their athletes or officials, who was determined either by their respective National Olympic Committee (NOK) or by the athletes themselves.

sequence

The Greek team has traditionally been given the front seat, a special status that stems from the hosting of the ancient and first modern games in Greece . Italy was the last to invade as the host nation. The other countries entered the stadium in alphabetical order in the language of the host nation, in this case English . This order corresponds to both the tradition and the statutes of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
