What's the story with the arseways sequence of teams coming out for the opening ceremony?  Seems to be alphabetical at times then random teams come out.

Probably came out with Team GB.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Why was that?  If I was at the Olympics I'd definitely want to be there for the walk out.  The yanks had a couple if hundred at least walk out

I read something about there being some sort of pandemic which meant limited numbers.
Sounds a bit far fetched though.

The Yanks probably had about 100 out of over 600. Not unusual for an opening ceremony for all the athletes not to be there even allowing for some of the issues around these Olympics
