2020 Summer Olympics closing ceremony flag bearers

Last updated

During the closing ceremony of the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, the flag bearers for the 205 National Olympic Committee's (NOCs) and the IOC Refugee Olympic Team will enter the Olympic Stadium. [1] [2] The flags of each country were not necessarily carried by the same flag bearer as in the opening ceremony. [3] Due to COVID-19 related protocols, athletes had to leave Japan within 48 hours from completion of their final event, [4] leaving some countries without representation during the closing ceremony. Flags of the countries without athletes present were instead carried by volunteers. [lower-alpha 1]

Countries and flagbearers

The following is a list of each country's flag bearer. The list is sorted by the order in which each nation appears in the parade of nations. Names will be given as officially designated by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

Because of the requirement that all competing athletes had to leave Tokyo within 48 hours of the completion of their events, not all of the National Olympic Committees were able to select a flag bearer for the closing ceremony, a games volunteer was represented instead.

This table is sortable by country name in English, country name in Japanese, the flag bearer's name, or the flag bearer's sport.

During the closing ceremony in Vancouver, the 82 nations selected one member of their delegation to be the flagbearer.

The flag bearers of 204 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) arrived into the main Olympic Stadium, during the closing ceremony of the 2008 Summer Olympics, held in Beijing on 24 August 2008.

The blending of all the athletes is a tradition that dates from the 1956 Summer Olympics, after a suggestion by Australian-born British student John Ian Wing, who thought it would be a way of bringing the athletes of the world together as "one nation." The flags of each country were not necessarily carried by the same flag bearer as in the opening ceremony.

During the parade of nations portion of the 1980 Summer Olympics opening ceremony, athletes from each country participating in the Olympics paraded in the arena, preceded by their flag.

American Samoa competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China, from 4 to 20 February 2022. The last time it competed at the Winter Olympics was in 1994, which also marked its debut.

During the closing ceremony of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China the flag bearers of 91 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) arrived into Beijing National Stadium on February 20. The flag bearers from each participating country entered the stadium informally in single file, and behind them marched all the athletes. The flags of each country were not necessarily carried by the same flag bearer as in the opening ceremony.
