Team USA was asked to "tone it down."
See article:

That may explain the lack of our little stars & stripes missing from our athletes.

I think I must be the only one who likes the parade of nations. I like seeing all the different countries, flags, outfits, and smiling faces from around the world. Once competition starts, we'll only see a fraction of those athletes during the games.
He comes the Greek team entering the stadium! :sohappy:

It is great to see the reactions from the Greek people in the stadium. They're just as enthusiastic than we were in Salt Lake and Atlanta.

I love our hats. And the parade of nations is a geogprahy lesson and a no-name country lesson too. Yeah, fireworks, now. I loved it. The water and the parade of history. It wasn't great but good

I kinda like the tree. I also liked the idea of the runner symbolically stumbling when WWI caused the games to be cancelled. At first, I though he really stumbled! But then I actually listened to the narration. A cool idea.

I'm showing a half-hour left for the opening ceremonies. Check nbc.com for a list of where and when the events are being broadcast. There should also be something on athens2004.com

Wow, that just looks kina weird with them all wearing earbuds. Looks like they're all listening to ipods! :lol: They're probably listening to a click track, though to keep them all on the same tempo. They're really good singers, though. But who designed their costumes? They just look...bad.
Edit: that floating torch relay looks REALLY cool!
