I always try to polish up my French when watching the Parade.

The very little French I know comes from ceremonies, and the names of sports/equipment/dates on multi-sports website. Plus, like Spanish, some of the words are similar to their English counterparts.

It was Sydney when the 3 athletes entered the parade of nations as penultimate country under the Olympic flag with the biggest smiles I ever seen in my life ? This one moment I remember the most from this opening ceremony, It was just excelent

Sydney came just after the end of the War of Independence against Indonesia I think. That was a long/bloody conflict (as those usually are)

I just realized that Libya will still have their dumb green flag here

Yeah they adopted the new flag just before the Arab Spring I think...maybe after. It’s hard to keep track of the political comings and going’s of the Arab questions.
