  • Seoul's Olympic Park features the flags of participating nations at the 1988 Summer Olympics. Here I point out the ones that have since been changed.

    Every country that has hosted the Olympics should do this its a great way of preserving history.

    I love when there are still "relics" of when a country hosted the Olympics. When I went to Barcelona, it was nice to see all the stuff that happened there because of 1992. It just gives it a magical feeling. I wonder how Tokyo will be shaped and if it'll keep something from their Olympics in 2021

    FYI, vexillographer... at that time, the countries are arranged following the Hangul alphabetical order.... G is the 1st letter and ended with H....

    Great video. You are correct in that Taiwan still uses that flag to compete in the Olympic games and they have to go by the name of "Chinese Taipei".

    Zaiire only had a name change and is still a country. It is the Democratic Republic of Congo.

    The Greek flag is horrifically misrepresented, it bears a square field below the cross

    Wow that's cool. It was fun trying to find all the old/defunct flags. And why are you the only one there? It looks like a ghost town.

    Vexillographer, have you watched the Pyeongchang 2018 opening ceremony? The same order goes in the Parade of Nations. It's confusing.

    There was also the old flag of Brazil. 🇧🇷 Brazil’s Current Flag was made in 1992.
