List of flag bearers for the 2016 Summer Olympics
The list of flag bearers for the 2016 Olympic Games includes the flag bearers for both the opening ceremony on August 5th and the closing ceremony on August 22nd.
When the nations marched in, athletes from all participating countries moved into the Maracanã Stadium . 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. At the closing ceremony, the flag bearers walked separately in front of all other athletes who formed a common field without distinguishing between nationalities.
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 . The host nation Brazil marched last. The other countries entered the stadium in alphabetical order in the language of the host nation, in this case Portuguese . This order corresponds to both the tradition and the statutes of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
