Good idea, The Klingon, but bambam1729 is correct.

Ok.

For interest, here are the athletics Olympians to carry the USA flag at the Opening Ceremony:

1908 Ralph Rose
1912 George Bonhag
1920 Pat McDonald
1924 Pat McDonald
1928 Bud Houser
1932 Morgan Taylor
1960 Rafer Johnson
1964 Parry O'Brien
1972 Olga Fikotová-Connolly
1984 Ed Burke
1988 Evelyn Ashford
2008 Lopez Lomong

Perhaps surprisingly the UK has only had 4 and the last one was Lynn Davies in 1968!

However the British T&F athletes are often in a holding camp away from the host city itself at the time of the Opening Ceremony. I think Daley Thompson turned it down in 1984.
