2020 Summer Olympics closing ceremony flag bearers

During the closing ceremony of the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, the flag bearers for the 205 National Olympic Committee's (NOCs) and the IOC Refugee Olympic Team will enter the Olympic Stadium.[1][2] The flags of each country were not necessarily carried by the same flag bearer as in the opening ceremony.[3] Due to COVID-19 related protocols, athletes had to leave Japan within 48 hours from completion of their final event,[4] leaving some countries without representation during the closing ceremony. Flags of the countries without athletes present were instead carried by volunteers.[a]
