AlexDS69 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 In the interest of brevity, I will only list the existing Olympic countries that have competed in the Winter Olympics since they first started in 1924, and I will use their names according to the International Olympic Committee. The name that follows is the transliteration of each country's Korean name (unless the English and Korean transliterations are the same).

LatinXTC Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Israel and Iran marched b2b in Sochi... Iran did threaten to not walk in the Opening Ceremony didn't they? And is this the order according to the Korean alphabet? Or how Beijing did it, the amount of characters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTHarner Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 It is in order of the hangul alphabet. In 1988 they actually did go out of order to keep Iran, Iraq, Israel, and Egypt separated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
world atlas Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Egypt didn't participate at the Winter games since 1984 so there is a little chance that they will be in PyeongChang anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p85 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 This is 1980 Lake Placid Opening Ceremony photo, so USA marched last as the host. Yugoslavian team must have felt a bit awkward standing between USSR and USA (and considering Tito showed huge FU to Stallin in 1950s). Russians look stereotypically Russian, Americans look stereotypically American... Those were awful years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 In the interest of brevity, I will only list the existing Olympic countries that have competed in the Winter Olympics since they first started in 1924, and I will use their names according to the International Olympic Committee.

HUNGARY - Heonggari Last Country: REPUBLIC OF KOREA (South Korea) - Daehan Minguk Are you sure it's complete? I believe you missed Hong Kong So after Hungary, it should be Hong Kong, China. Dunno if the Organizing Committee will use "Hong Kong" only or "Jongguk Hongkong" ("Hong Kong, China" in Korean). I've watched 2014 Asian Games OC, but had forgotten about the parade country name boards already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigVic Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Australia will most likely march in the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor15 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Japan are probably going to do the same thing in Tokyo, it's just most of the country's names are either written in katakana or kanji, two letter styles of the Japanese language. Katakana is mainly used for transliterating foreign words or names in the Japanese language. Kanji is just basically Chinese characters with Japanese pronunciations. Like Greece's Japanese name is Girisha so I guess that's how it will go in Tokyo. Also Beijing are gonna probably do what they did with their parade back in 2008.

Ikarus360 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Given the Hangul alphabet is the central theme of the whole brand, it would be paradoxical if the march of athletes wasn't done in Hangul as well. Btw, Egypt already recognized Israel as a country long ago so they're really not a problem. I would worry more about Iran. As for North Korea, even if they boycott no one is really going to miss them anyway. Japan also has their own names for countries instead of just transliterating straight from english. Great Britain is called Igirisu and Germany is Doitsu, for example. Japan refers to North Korea as Kita-Chosen (Chosen comes from Joseon, the old name of Korea) and South Korea as Kankoku.

BTHarner Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Australia actually is little further up in the Hangul alphabet. They should be before Austria, but they aren't listed here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
