I know that it's now the least important thing about Olympics during pandemic but I wonder how or if at all Opening/Closing Ceremonies will held and how it will looks, without spectators/with limited number, with smaller artistic programm, there will be parade of athletes or just of flags like it is during YOG or at all anything?

 

What do think/feels?

Bit late, but no way will there be a normal, awesome Parade of Nations with large teams all entering the stadium. If there's Olympics at all, surely the whole bubble concept will be a major point and that's just not going to work with a ceremony like that  

 

So, sadly, I'm expecting single flags.

Quote

The number of officials attending the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics and Paralympics will be limited to six as part of coronavirus countermeasures which are set to be in place at the Games.

 

Coates said countries with smaller numbers of athletes will not be able to fill their delegation in the parade at the Ceremonies with officials, as has happened at previous Games.

 

Tokyo 2020 President Yoshirō Mori said organisers would "have to consider" the number of people involved in the parade, but said "no athlete can be deprived" of their right to participate in it.

we are 6 MONTHS away from the Olympic games and no announcements on the flag doors, weird

[rybak 3,169]

Expected but still I will be sad if this will happen, anyway better than nothing.

Sorry but this is not true. Greece didn't select the flag bearer yet, though Anna is one of the top prospects for that position along with Stefanidi and Petrounias.

 

There are also some rumors about Tsitsipas and Antetokounmpo but I don't think they deserve it since they never played at the Olympics before and the others already won gold medals.
