Only men were able to compete in the Ancient Olympics. Women were forbid to enter the Ancient Olympics, or, Olympia, as it was called back then.
The athletes from Greece enter first and the athletes from the host nation (in 2010 that is Canada) enter last. In between, the athletes enter in alphabetical order of the country name as known in the host nation's language (in 2010 that is English). At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Greece will enter first, Russia will enter last, and in between the countries will enter in alphabetical order in the Russian language.

Liu Changchun was the Republic of China's first Olympic athlete, competing in the 100 meter dash at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
There are standards to enter the Olympics. An "A" Standard and a "B" standard. Every country is allowed to enter 3 A standard athletes into each event, if they have them. If they don't, they are allowed to enter one B standard athlete into each event, if they have them. Some smaller countries don't have anybody good enough to reach the standards. Those countries are allowed to enter one athlete (of each gender) into just one event in the Olympics. Usually that means a crowd of small countries running in the 100 meters (in the newly invented Preliminary round) or the in the marathon but the Olympics don't place that specificity. The IAAF World Championships have a similar system, but place the unqualified athlete into the 100 metres. In 2011, that resulted in the Samoan champion shot putter having to run the 100, far outside of his specialty.
