Athletes entered the stadium in an order dictated by tradition. As the originator of the Olympics, Greece entered first. The Russian team entered last, representing the host nation. The names of the nations were announced first in French, followed by English and finally Russian, the official languages of the Olympic movement and of the host nation, in accordance to tradition and IOC guidelines. The nations entered in alphabetic order of their country names in Russian.
