[navid500]

fucking commentator talks about how the olympic games aren't about politics...then he mentions the sanctions against iraq, and the use of chemical weapons by saddam, etc....lol he just couldn't resist

[navid500]

yea well that's why i think of Nastia while i'm busting a whack

[akawhippy]

Where in the world in Yuri Chechi and the others?

[beelily]

where the hell is hungary???

[jaguarjuarez]

Estos norteamericanos, cuando sale la delegacion de irak, los comentaristas solo hablan del gobierno de sadamm hussein y sus supuestos crimenes y armas biologicas que hasta ahora nadie ha encontrado, desde entonces se sembraba ese sentimiento antiiraki

This video is 1996.

[akawhippy]

@jaguarjuarez Tienes razon. Pero lo que pasa es que esas armas de destruccion masiva NUNCA fueron encontradas. Asi que la guerra de Irak no dejo nada mas que muertes, dolor y sufrimiento. Que pena!

whats the name of the song in the parade of israel and italy

[admats130]

"Seventeen Come Sunday" is the song when Jamaica enters

[princehaiti]

nice video. i notice my country enters the stadium first in this video . it sad the other countries wasn't shown.

nice video of Atlanta,Georgia Olympic games

[akawhippy]

What the name of the song playing between 4:41 and 5:20?

[akawhippy]

I want to know if Yuri Chechi, the Italian gymnast marched into the stadium with his delegation because I just know he probably did Its just that I didn't saw him but they only mentioned him and the others.

[allthingsOlympic]

@akawhippy he might and might not have, some athletes dont participate in the parade due to there events starting early or they find it pountless or have some other qualm about it, but most likely his event was the next day and didnt want to stay up till about 1 in the morning

[akawhippy]

@allthingsOlympic Oh. Maybe he did but its just that the camera didn't focused on him. This happens often, when not all athletes can't be captured in camera at once.

[missuniworld]

music! what's the music's name please!!!!!!!!!!

[akawhippy]

The song you hear between 0:57-1:47 is called "Santorini" and it is played by the Greek muscician Yanni.

Thank you.. Thank you.. I could see my country Korea.. at least for 10 seconds.. I feel bad for next countries like Kuwait, Laos, and Lebanon etc :-)

The US was the host team, Australia was the future host team, and Canada was just a large team. I'm sorry Cameroon was missing. Commercials are the reason it was cut, not due to impartial editing.

[julius923]

I included all countries from the broadcast.  However, some countries were cut from the broadcast due to commercials. The unedited broadcast was 2 hours. I edited the time down to about 65 minutes, which is average of 20 seconds per country for 197 countries. Some of the countries in the beginning were a bit short. On the 3 countries you mentioned, I spent more time on larger countries.

[youdontkno85]

I don't get it. You post a video of the parade of nations back in 1996, then you cut out some countries like Cameroon, and other African Nations, Caribbean countries, and large countries like China. Yet you post everything on The USA, Canada, and Australia. I mean whats up with that? That could be considered great disrespect. If you're going to post something, post the whole thing --- Not in parts!

[julius923]

P.S. There is a 10 minute/100 MB limit per video. I am amazed that China is missing myself, but know that I did not cut anyone from the video I had. Maybe someone else will upload this from another station.

[SchwarzeWitwe2]

Isn't China in the previous video?
