my ass we did....I was in SLC in ‘02....a group of athletes were escorted in with a few NYPD/FDNY when the flag was raised....
I thought that was the tattered flag they had recovered from the WTC rubble? One of the most moving moments ever seen for the opening ceremonies.
Y’know what...you’re right! I was thinking of Los Angeles ‘84. My apologies.
And, as I remember, it was the RCMP who raised it for Canada.
