In a change from the last two Olympics, any Independent Olympic Athletes will march next to last, ahead of only host nation Brazil, in the Rio Olympic Opening Ceremony Parade of Nations on Aug. 5.
Independent Olympic Athletes do not have a national flag to compete under at the Games but rather march out behind the Olympic flag.
Potential Independent Olympic Athletes at the Rio Games could include stateless refugees.
At London 2012, three Independent Olympic Athletes gained fame during the Parade of Nations for their dance moves while marching. Then, they marched between Iceland and India in alphabetical order.
