What major unifying change did the first Australian Olympic Games bring to the closing ceremony?
Prior to the 1956 Melbourne Olympics - the first to be held in Australia and the first in the southern hemisphere - during the closing ceremony, the athletes marched by nation, just as they did in the Opening Ceremony. In Melbourne, the athletes cam into the stadium together during the closing ceremony. This was to symbolise world unity. (Incidentally, the suggestion to change was made by a young Australian named John Ian Wing.)
What order do the athletes enter for the Winter Olympics in the opening ceremony?
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.
