During the Openings Ceremony all the teams paraded into the
stadium behind their flags, and during the Closing Ceremony the flags
did so once more. The flags and teams paraded in alphabetical order
according to the language of the host country, except for Greece as
the origin of the Olympic Games which always leads the parade, and
Mexico as the host country which closed the parade. The flags
themselves all have the same size, and all have the ratio 2:3 or 3:5.
The millions watching the Opening Ceremony saw the flags and athletes
enter the stadium in this order:
