Opening Ceremonies
During the ceremonies at Athens Olympic Stadium, which figure to be the most-watched event on the Games' schedule this weekend, it should be interesting to see where the 441-member Greek squad lines up in the parade of nations. Greece has been the leadoff team in opening ceremonies of the past, so honored as the nation that launched the Olympic Games. Yet another tradition holds that the last team to march into the stadium shall be the one representing the host nation.
Let the Games Begin . . . Again. In the days before the opening ceremonies, the first contests of the Games will have taken place in soccer, with the U.S. women playing Greece yesterday and men's games today.
