first and last
Greece, followed by all other nations in alphabetical order.
In the 2004 Summer Olympics held in Athens, Greece, the parade of nations followed a traditional order based on the Greek alphabet. Greece, as the host nation, entered first, followed by nations in alphabetical order according to their names in Greek. The United States, for example, entered towards the end of the parade. This format is consistent with previous Olympic ceremonies, emphasizing the significance of Greece's historical role in the Olympics.
In terms of the Parade of Nations, the ceremony during which all Olympic teams enter bearing the flag of their country, Greece is always the first to enter. Having founded the Olympic Games centuries ago, and pioneering the modern international Olympic Games, Greece is given the honour of first entry for all Summer and Winter Olympic Games Parade of Nations ceremonies, including the most recent 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. After this, teams file on in alphabetical order of the host country's language, and the host country itself enters last, but Greece is always the first to enter.
For opening parade of athletes in the Olympics, Greece comes in first and the last nation to come in is the host nation. In between come the nations in alphabetical order. For the closing parade, the first and the last nations are the same, Greece and the host nation, but in between, all of the athletes of all the participating nations come in a huge mass and in no particular order. This closing procedure was brought about by an idea of a young Chinese apprentice carpenter living in Australia who wrote to the International Olympics Committee suggesting that all of the athletes mingle in the closing parade. This was officially adopted from the 1956 Melbourne Olympics up to the present.
