Honestly, I love the parade in different locations. Winter Games needs that: snow, narrow streets and mountains with tradition in winter sports. It is also more dynamic and less boring. It doesn't have to take longer that the traditional way if done quickly (15 sec per location).

However, really weird that a full stadium is getting just placard bearers and a few athletes.

I just hope this doesn't distract Germany from their current plan - I can see the DOSB saying "that was good, let's go for winter instead"

PS1: also I'm learning tonight how different Italian is from French & Spanish, I thought they'd be more similar for country names

PS2: Us! Always prepared fro the weather :)

Honestly, they should have someone carry the flag into the San Siro even if there's no athletes there. Feels like they're less present with just a placard.

So how long do you think the Opening Ceremony will be 2.5 hrs or 3?

I thought India would have a bigger team tbh

(also maybe confirmation bias but I feel like the athletes outside Milan are enjoying it more, especially Cortina)

Thats where the plan sort of falls short. 

And medium to large countries (like Australia up) have 5 flagbearers....including the official flagbearer pair, who could be anywhere, and 3 others.

I agree. Feels a bit empty and the audience (i found empty seats by the way) will be scratching their heads
