The Greek Olympic team, as is customary, led the parade along the Seine River in the Paris Olympic Games opening ceremony on Friday.
It is the first-ever parade held on the water, with each team having its own boat that follows a 6-kilometer route along the Seine.
Following the boat carrying the Greek delegation was the refugee team, which in Paris consists of 37 members. The remaining delegations followed in alphabetical order.
The flag bearers for the Greek team in the opening ceremony were basketball player Giannis Antetokounmpo and race walker Antigoni Ntrismpioti.
"Opening ceremony of Paris Olympic Games with Greece first," wrote the Hellenic Olympic Committee on X.
