During the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games, athletes from Greece traditionally enter the stadium first as a nod to their historical role in the origins of the Olympics. Conversely, athletes from the host nation are typically the last to enter, symbolizing national pride and unity. This order is consistent across most Olympic Games.
In the opening ceremony, the athletes from the host country enter last. In the closing ceremony, the athletes enter en masse and there is no structure as to what country's athletes enter last.
The athletes from China will be the last to enter during the opening ceremonies. Olympic protocol dictates that the host country's athletes enter last at the opening ceremony.
