Original title: the International Olympic Committee will make major adjustments to the order of the Olympic Games
The Executive Committee of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided in Lausanne, Switzerland, on the 3rd that the order of the delegation's admission to the summer and Winter Olympic Games will be adjusted from the Tokyo Olympic Games. On the one hand, it will highlight the host of the future Olympic Games, and the admission sequence of the refugee delegation will be greatly advanced.
According to the usual practice, the host delegation is the last to come out at each Olympic Games. According to the latest decision of the International Olympic Committee, the national or regional delegation that has won the right to host the future Olympic Games will appear before the current host to highlight the special status of the future Olympic host.
This means that at the opening ceremony of next year's Tokyo Olympics, the last three delegates will be the United States (Los Angeles 2028), France (Paris 2024) and Japan. This practice will also be applied to the future summer and Winter Olympic Games (the Winter Olympic Games and the summer Olympic Games will be carried out separately).
In addition, at the opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics, the first refugee delegation in the history of the Olympic Games was the penultimate player before the host Brazil. At the Tokyo Olympics, the order of the refugee delegation will be greatly advanced, and they will be the second to enter the stadium after representing Greece, the birthplace of the Olympic movement.
