[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK I’m sure they have their reasons, but I do not like that the parade of athletes is taking place in four different places.[/quote]

Usually, the athletes who are far from the ceremony don't get to participate at all. This is better than that![/quote]

Yes but usually it's only a handful of events and athletes who are too far away. This year a lot of the big ticket events are way up in the mountains very far from Milan and also scheduled early in the games.  So it's way, way more athletes (including many of the most recognizable athletes in premier events) who are not actually at the stadium. They did this to avoid the opening ceremonies looking quite so empty, and also to ensure that some of the more famous athletes at the games actually appeared at the ceremonies.[/quote]

Although this is not atypical of winter olympics. Torino, Vancouver, Calgary and others had events in pretty spread out places. SLC was good because the skiing is so close to the city but they still had a medal area in Park City in addition to downtown SLC. [/quote]
