[DIONETO]

[DitzyNizzy2009]

@darkcrusader522 - I know where Greece is (having gone there on holiday last year): I meant where are they in the parade.

[DitzyNizzy2009]

Where the heck's Greece? They come out first.

[darkcrusader522]

@DitzyNizzy2009 Greece is on europe and they allways come out first because they created the olympic games. Wiht out them we wouldnt have the olympics

Greece has won many olympic medals you idiot. And as for the question who cares about Greece?

If it wasn't for Greece there would be no Olympics!

MALAKA

[tittyj2020]

Then there would be no fucking Olympics...the world would keep on spinning you know. You fucking Greeks are always so quick to take credit for anything some ancestor of yours did. Let it go

[AlienFirefox]

you wanka or as you say it

malakas

[PHSDM104]

You should have did it in the correct order with Greece coming first. They do start off every Parade Of Nations except when they host it.

[MCEProd22]

Where's Greece?

[AlienFirefox]

who cares about greece they've never won a medal in the olympics

[shalmanempire]

wtf? Greece never won a medal??

And btw greece is always FIRST in the parade of nations...

[AlienFirefox]

wernt in athens or beijing australia is always top 10 gfreece is never in top 10 so they cant win to mny

in athens they had the largest team and still came no where

the olympics was invented in greece 2000 years ago but the modern olympics was created by the world

and there still would be olympics you idiot it just wouldnt be called the olympics

[shalmanempire]

yes, greece has a population of 10 million and autstralia has a population of 21 million. You can't compare Greece with Australia! And if i am not mistaken, the first games of the modern era were held in Greece? :)

[AlienFirefox]

and america and china has a polution of over 300 million but we still manage to give them the run of there lives mate

coutnry size has nothing to do with it

and actually if you wonna be technical 2000 was considered the first modern olympics so sydneyw as the first modern olympics

though however they say london will be the first modern olymnpics

[baseballboo]

excuse me, what's this BGM's title ?

[ikaica]

but what is the name of the song in the parade of barbados and belarus

[alexxzz2008]

The music's from Yanni

[ikaica]

whats the name of the song in the parade of barbados and belarus

[julius923]

OK, I may redo this whole section. It seems like there is enough support here for me to add the whole thing unedited.

[ChuckGymFan]

I get commercials but you never alowed us to hear what the commentators were saying about the countries, I doubt there was a commercial after every nations walk... Seemed like you cut to make clips of each country and to allow for enough time. Kind of ruined the vid.

[Mulderre]

It's ridiculous the American TV. Why did they some advertisments? I wanted to see all the countries.. What a shame!!

[schs1977]

Because advertisments pay for TV. America does not have a "tv tax". Advertisers pay the American tv networks, who provide tv free over the airways to America. the US government does not support American tv (other than PBS)

[Mexikanvega]

Just saying before you post a comment read the little info box and also read some of the other comments!

[akawhippy]

don't skip or cut off scenes

[aric2007]

He didn't cut off any scenes... They had commercials so please bear with him...

[akawhippy]

alright

[onochurtu]

Music was pretty

[vatroslav]

CROATIA!!!!!!!!

Go go go! Beijing will be amazing I got a feeling:)!

[Nightwalkboy]

Stop skipping stuff you jerk!

[ChristosM]

But why it is cut??? and not complete?

[julius923]

This was a live broadcast with commercials.

[Kevindl1985]

Greece does come first their included in the video "rebirth of the modern olympics".

[4yall]

The wonderful Cuban Flag.......awesome games

[julius923]

I made sure every nation available (some are missing due to commercials) was viewed in this series of videos.

[SchwarzeWitwe2]

They did. In the previous video.

[julius923]

Yes, it does. I actually put it in the video just before Part 1. There is a link to the video right below the player labeled: "1996 Atlanta Opening Ceremonies- Rebirth of the Modern Games". Greece is at the end of the video.

[tariqziyad]

afghanistan!!

[jujutorniere]

Around the end of this video, we can hear "chariot of fire" by vangelis (cook island)

[admats130]

Does anyone know the titles of the music being played?

[julius923]

Music includes: First song is

Yanni: Live at the Acropolis - Santorini.

Song at 8:00 is the theme from movie "Chariots of Fire"

Song at 9:40 is from Yanni: Live at the Acropolis - Acroyali Stand in Motion (approximately 2:30 into the song is where is starts)
