Various traditional elements also frame the closing
ceremonies of an Olympic Games, that take place after
all appointments closed have. Flag bearers of each sympathetic
delegation in the stadium in a single truce, but behind
them March all of the athletes without difference of
nationality or group - a tradition that began during
the Olympic summer game 1956 on the suggestion of Melbourne
schoolboy John Ian Wing, that thought Will one manner
the athletes of the world together as "a nation".
(In 2006 has the athletes marched in with their countrymen,
then spread and mingled as the ceremonies went on).
Three national flags are each hoisted flag mast have
been played on an in a time meanwhile their respective
national anthems: The flag of Greece on the right hand
pool (again honor of the birthplace of the Olympic Games),
the flag of the country of reception on the middle pool,
And ultimately the flag of the country of receipts of
the coming summers or the Olympic Games, on the left
hand pool. (Exception, in 2004, when the Games became
loved in Athens, only a flag Greece is risen.)
In a little known state as the "Antwerp Ceremony"
(1920), the mayor of the city where the Games organized
transfers a special Olympic Flag at the chairman of
the IOC, that then goes over on At the mayor of the
city next to guest country of the Olympic Games. The
receiving mayors then wave respect the flag turn. There
are three such flags, that deviate from all other specimens
in that they a period from now of six colored edge around
the flag, and its agreements with six colored ribbons
at a flag stick:
The Antwerpse hang out the flag: Was voorgelegd at
the IOC by the Olympic summer game 1920 by the city
Antwerp, Belgium, and were passed at the next organization
of the city of the Olympic Games till the Games of Seoul
1988. The Oslo-flag: Was voorgelegd at the IOC by the
Olympic winter game 1952 by the city Oslo, Norway, and
is passed at the next organization of the city of the
Olympic winter game. The Seoul hang out the flag: Was
voorgelegd at the IOC by the Olympic summer game 1988
by the city Seoul, Republic Korea (South-Korea), and
is passed at the next organization of the city of the
Olympic summer game that was Barcelona Spain, That moment.
A problem was that through this tradition by the winter
game 2006 in Turijn, Italy. The flag was passed by Sergio
Chiamparino, the mayor of Turijn, Sam Sullivan, the
mayor of Vancouver. Sullivan is a paraplegic, wanted
to be wheelchair so that he with the flag of the business
in one hand and turning point away and again eight turn.
After these traditional elements, the next receiving
land self becomes with the artistic expressions of dance
and theater representative of that country. This tradition
began with the Games 1976.
