Vektor 3,195 Posted July 9, 2021 #4 Share Posted July 9, 2021 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. rybak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only know Macron, other states will send some representatives other than heads of state. China will send vice premier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,470 Posted July 14, 2021 #10 Share Posted July 14, 2021 New text for the Olympic Oath’s: Quote “We promise to take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules and in the spirit of fair play, inclusion and equality. Together we stand in solidarity and commit ourselves to sport without doping, without cheating, without any form of discrimination. We do this for the honour of our teams, in respect for the Fundamental Principles of Olympism, and to make the world a better place through sport.” According to the IOC Press Release, each Oath will now be taken by both and male and female representative as well. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair” - Nelson Mandela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
