Canada will be sharing a boat with Chile, China, Cameroon, and Central African Republic.

Canada + China is a lot, plus three other countries. This sort of sounded like a good idea in the beginning, but I hope the athletes don't just get smushed together. The parade of nations is my favourite part.

 

Full disclosure, I will not be able to watch live. I stupidly agreed to play in my nephew's parents vs kids paintball event this afternoon. Bad decisions, I've made a few.

I'm a pretty big fan of this format tbh - the parade of nations can be so long and this seems pretty refreshing.

Technically yes, but “in the house” is an idom meaning that they have arrived

My only real issue with this format is that is really dimminushes the role of the flag bearer.
