Appointment of the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad to Athens

Athens, Greece, had originally hoped to host the centennial games of 1996, but will now be hosting the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad in 2004.

The Parade of Flags

During the Openings Ceremony all the teams parade into the stadium behind their flags. The flags and teams parade 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 presumably as the host country will close the parade. Although we don't know the precise order the teams will enter, here is the list of countries listed according to their names in Greek (based on the Athens 2004 web page) and translated by Jonathan Dixon.
