2022 Winter Olympics Parade of Nations

During the Parade of Nations within the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics opening ceremony, athletes and officials from each participating country will march in the Beijing National Stadium preceded by their flag and placard bearer. Each flag bearer will be chosen either by the nation's National Olympic Committee or by the athletes themselves.

2022 Winter Olympics

Parade order

Athletes will enter the stadium in an order dictated by the Olympic tradition. As the originator of the Olympics, the Greek team will enter first. The collation method used is based on the names as written in Simplified Chinese characters and is similar to that used in Chinese dictionaries. The names were sorted by the number of strokes in the first character of the name, then by the stroke order of the character (in the order 橫竖撇捺折, c.f. Wubi method), then the number of strokes and stroke order of the second character, then next character and so on. For example, this placed San Marino (圣马力诺) in 25th position, just ahead of Kyrgyzstan (吉尔吉斯斯坦) because the initial character for "San Marino" (圣) is written in 5 strokes, while that for "Kyrgyzstan" (吉) is written in 6 strokes.

The country that will host the next Olympic Games, Italy, will march before the host nation China enters, instead of entering between New Zealand and Serbia, according to the Chinese collation order.

Russia would compete under the acronym, "ROC" after the name of the Russian Olympic Committee although the name of the committee itself in full could not be used to refer to the delegation. Russia would be represented by the flag of the Russian Olympic Committee.

Announcers in the stadium will read off the names of the marching nations in Mandarin Chinese (the official language of the host country), English and French (the official languages of the Olympics) with music accompanying the athletes as they marched into the stadium.

List

The following is a list of each country's flag bearer. The list is sorted by the sequence that each nation appeared in the parade of nations. The names are given in their official designations by the IOC, and the Chinese names follow their official designations by the Beijing Organising Committee for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
