Parade of nations in Olympics
The backbone of the Olympics is the parade of the nations at the opening of the ceremony. Athletes from Greece enter the parade first to mark the origin of Olympics from Greece. It is followed by the other participating nations, in alphabetical order of the chosen language of the Hosting country. The host country athletes enter last.
International Olympic Committee (IOC) is involved in selecting the host nation. The 2018 winter Olympics was held at Pyeongchang in South Korea and so the Korean athletes were the last nation of the parade.
The 2020 summer Olympics is to be held at Tokyo, Japan.
