I was watching the opening ceremony, and it looks like they made some changes in the protocol. I recall in the past calling out the participating nations in Alphabetical order. Apparently, today they did it differently. They started with the A's, B's ...etc, then at some point they jumped to the US Virgin Islands, then they backtracked, and at one point they had not finished with the D's, E's or F's, and they went to Germany? I'm curious to know what system they used in determining the order in which the nations were called?
So? It's been a pretty good opening ceramonies since I've seen.
It's been way too political though. The whole point of the Olympics is to set aside politics and celebrate our common humanity.
I thought about that, but then I thought about Nagano (Japan) which hosted the 1998 Winter Olympics. Japan did not use their own alphabet when calling out the nations. They used the standard (English) alphabet, calling out all nations in English Alphabetical order with the exception of Greece.I was watching the opening ceremony, and it looks like they made some changes in the protocol.

Could that opening scene with the Russian alphabet have something to do with it?
