I'm looking at the Olympic schedule basically every day by now, too much excitement to contain!

They really should start with the Parade of Nations this time, that way athletes can enjoy the show and provide some much needed atmosphere inside the venue.

I only know Macron, other states will send some representatives other than heads of state. China will send vice premier.

A month ago there were reports we will use our quota for heads of state to accomodate extra support staff. Then there was cabinet reshuffle so I don't know what will happen now maybe few ministers. 

 

Nonetheless we have a current parliament member - 6 time world champion , Mary Kom, also our female flagbearer at opening ceremony.
