The march I have in mind is different than the one during the Opening Ceremony and will make these games even greater, during the march there will only be 1 NATION.   War, politics and nationality will be all forgotten, what more could anybody want, if the whole world could be made as one nation.  Well you can do it in a small way.

This is how I think it can be done (see dia) no team is to keep together and there should be no more than 2 team mates together, they must be spread out evenly, and  THEY MUST NOT MARCH but walk freely and wave to the public, let them walk around twice on the cinder, when they stop the public will give them 3 cheers.

a chinese/australian teenager later revealed to be John Ian Wing, in an anonymous letter to the Olympic Committee, melbourne 1956.  this began the current tradition of athletes being present in the olympic closing ceremony as one amorphous group, rather than marching in order behind their own nation’s flag.   check out this super-charming retro website
