1988 Summer Olympics Parade of Nations

none During the Parade of Nations portion of the 1988 Summer Olympics opening ceremony, athletes from each country participating in the Olympics paraded in the arena, preceded by their flag. The flag was borne by a sportsperson from that country chosen either by the National Olympic Committee or by the athletes themselves to represent their country. Parade order As the nation of the first modern Olympic Games, Greece entered the stadium first; whereas, the host nation South Korea marched last. Other countries entered in alphabetical order in the language of the host country (Korean), according with tradition and IOC guidelines. The collation method used is based on the names as written in Hangul, a traditional Korean alphabet. November 2005 Technical Manual on Ceremonies https://www.gamesmonitor.org.uk/files/Technical_Manual_on_Ceremonies.pdf International Olympic Committee 2019-10-06 40 Whilst most countries entered under their short names, a few entered under more formal or alternative names, mostly due to political and naming disputes. The Republic of China (commonly known as Taiwan) entered with the compromised name and flag of "Chinese Taipei" ("차이니스 타이페이") under 타 ta, while the conflicting People's Republic of China (commonly known as China) entered as "중화인민공화국" under 중. Among the nations with Korean names starting with 이 i, several reorderings occurred due the geopolitics. Hangul alphabetic order would have dictated Iraq → Iran → Israel → Egypt → Italy → India → Indonesia → Japan. As its protocol name at the IOC is Islamic Republic of Iran, the iranian delegation was moved three spaces later in the parade while Israel was moved five spaces later and was (an additional two spaces past Iran), changing the parade order into Iraq → Egypt → Italy → India → Iran → Indonesia → Japan → Israel. 160 National Olympic Committees (NOC)s entered with their delegations on the Olympic Stadium.
