Here's the Parade of Nations order for the 2024 Olympics

There are not many better events in sporting than the Parade of Nations.

At the beginning of every Olympics, the Opening Ceremony sees all participating countries have grand introductions in front of live audiences and millions of spectators across the globe.

The 2024 Paris Olympics will see a slight tweak, though. Instead of athletes walking down a stage, they'll be introduced on boats cruising down the River Seine in a historic first for a Summer Games.

Here's what to expect from the Parade of Nations in Paris:

Which country marches first in the Parade of Nations? 

The first country to march in the Parade of Nations is Greece. The nation is where the Olympics originated thousands of years ago and the first modern Games transpired there in 1896. Greece's founding role is recognized by going first in the parade.

NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo and race walker Antigoni Drisbioti were also named Greece's flag bearers for the parade, so they'll kickstart the event by coming out first.

Which country marches last in the Parade of Nations?

On the far end of the order is the country who is hosting the Olympics. Because the 2024 Games are in Paris, France will come out last.
