Is it true that during the opening ceremony an oath is sworn by one athlete from the host nation on behalf of all the athletes?
Yes. After the lighting of the Olympic cauldron and the release of the pigeons, a member of the host nation's team mounts the rostrum, takes a corner of the Olympic flag in their left hand, raises their right hand, and recites the oath: "In the name of all the competitors I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them, committing ourselves to a sport without doping and without drugs, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams." This is followed by a judge from the host country mounting the rostrum, taking the Olympic flag in their left hand, raising their right hand, and reciting the judge's oath: "In the name of all the judges and officials, I promise that we shall officiate in these Olympic Games with complete impartiality, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship."
