Yeah, as the Olympics are heading to become more regional based rather than city based, multiple parades will likely be needed.

 

From a TV perspective it would make sense to focus on the main venue and then show a big shot of the other venue once all the athletes have entered like we saw with the surfers in 2024.

 

I hope they do something in 2028 to show off the canoe slalom and softball players

The softball teams might not even be there yet, they don’t start until day 9

The Olympic Flame lighting ceremony will take place indoors

 

Wednesday, November 26th is the scheduled date for the lighting of the Olympic Flame for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games, but the weather forecast for the archaeological site of Olympia indicates a heavy chance of rain, so the Hellenic Olympic Committee had to take precautions.

 

Therefore the lighting ceremony will be celebrated indoors, inside the archaeological museum.

 

The Flame will then go to Athens, the Greek Capital, and finally will continue its journey to Rome.

 

It will reach the Quirinale Palace on Thursday, December 4th, where the handover ceremony is scheduled for 6 p.m.

 

An official ceremony at the presence of the President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella, will be held the following day, Friday, December 5th, at 11 a.m. before the Flame's journey resumes.

 

Thanks to the participation of over 10,000 torchbearers, the Olympic Flame will run across the whole Italian territory, finally arriving in Milan, site of the Opening Ceremony of the Winter Games, on February 6th, 2026.

Little over three hours to go! Brazil will be represented in Milan by Lucas Braathen, @brunamoura and chef de mission Emilio Strapasson. Nicole Silveira will be in Cortina d'Ampezzo.

Unfortunately this Moncler thing (the clothing sponsor for Brazil tonight) doesn't let her enter the stadium with the balloon she had wanted for years   (very long story very short, but it's basically her symbol for never giving up even when things get beyond tough, although the fact that she has orange balloons with her of course are also a small tribute towards )

 

She'll make some nice photos at the Olympic rings with it then, later on.

Things are reversed :

The ceremony of Paris 2024 should be inside the stadium ,and this one outside  ,  winter sport in not related to stadium
