During the closing ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, the flag bearers for the 205 National Olympic Committee's (NOCs) and the IOC Refugee Olympic Team entered Stade de France. The flags of each country were not necessarily carried by the same flag bearer as in the opening ceremony. Like the opening ceremony, each team had an option of having two flag bearers, one man and one woman, to promote gender equality.[1]
Countries and flagbearers
editThe following is a list of each country's flag bearer. The list is sorted in the official order of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), even though nations appeared in no particular order in the parade of nations. Names are being given as officially designated by the IOC.[1]
