The editing makes it confusing who raised what flag. The girl at 5:30 is wearing a traditional French-Canadian costume. She's the girl that raised the Canadian flag. The girl that raised the Soviet flag (with the flowers in her hair) is shown at 5:08. The girl that raises the Greek flag isn't shown.
P.S. flowers-in-hair is a very traditional Russian-Ukrainian thing. Hopes this makes things clear. The video editing isn't in chronological order. (They show the Soviet girl, then the hoisting of the Greek flag). the Greek flag, BTW (in case anyone asks) has changed since 1976. Then, it was just a white cross on blue background.
That's my MOM!! At around 1:50 running with the torch!!!!!!!! :D

It's weird that from 1968-1980, all the Olympic Games' hosts all start with 'M'. (Mexico City 1968, Munich 1972, Montreal 1976, Moscow 1980)
