Ed. Notes: Games were played in the same year until 1994 which started with winter, then summer. Until those games, his list will have summer first, then winter, in the terms of order.
  • 1. Tokyo Metropolitan Police carried all flags into the stadium, however Shigeo Aono gave the athlete's oath.
  • 2. Volunteers carried the flags in for the athletes.
  • 3. Volunteers carried the flags in for the athletes at the Stoke Mandeville ceremonies, no idea about New York.
