During the closing ceremony of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China the flag bearers of 91 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) arrived into Beijing National Stadium on February 20. The flag bearers from each participating country entered the stadium informally in single file, and behind them marched all the athletes. The flags of each country were not necessarily carried by the same flag bearer as in the opening ceremony.
The parade order was identical to the opening ceremony's Parade of Nations.
List
The following is a list of each country's flag bearer. The list is sorted by the sequence that each nation appeared in the Ceremony.[1] The names are given in their official designations by the IOC, and the Chinese names follow their official designations by the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
Notes
- ^ ROC was sorted under a Chinese transcription of its English abbreviation, 罗克 (Luōkè).
