...crest of the stadium, the countdown to the opening ceremony picked up steam (Athens 1896, Paris 1900...Barcelona 1992), and the show was under way. In moments the stadium found itself sheathed in fabric of the five Olympic colors as members of five different tribes poured out and flew down onto the field.
