I'm fascinated by how the Parade of Nations has evolved over the years

. I mean, can you imagine being a flagbearer from Japan or Greece, walking into this massive stadium with 92 other countries behind you? It's like a dream come true for any athlete

. But what's interesting is that it's not just about national pride - it's also about global unity and the Olympic spirit

. I wonder if the athletes realize how much their participation contributes to the entire event, even if they're not competing themselves? It's like, you're representing your country, but also the world

.
And I love how the Parade of Nations has always stuck to its traditional format, despite all the changes in the games over the years

. The fact that it's still a part of the opening ceremony, with the host nation leading the way, is just so cool

. It's like a time capsule of Olympic history, right before your eyes

.
But what about the Individual Neutral Athletes who aren't participating in the Parade? Are they feeling left out or proud to be representing themselves instead of their country?

We don't hear much from them, but I think it's worth exploring their perspective
