During the 2026 Parade of Nations in the Milan Cortina Olympics Opening Ceremony, you won’t hear “United States” be called out in English to announce Team USA — instead, viewers will need to listen for their country to be announced in Italian.<\/p>\n

The Olympic Opening Ceremony formally kicked off the start of the 2026 Milan Cortina Games Friday at 1 p.m. CT, with the iconic Parade of Nations as one of the heavily anticipated events taking place during the celebration. <\/p>\n

A re-run of the three-hour Opening Ceremony will be aired in primetime<\/a> on NBC at 7 p.m. CT, with a greater focus on Team USA athletes. <\/p>\n

During the Parade of Nations, athletes from more than 90 countries walked alongside their flag. A look at the order that countries marched in is available\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For Team USA supporters tuning in for the primetime coverage, here’s what to listen for so you don’t miss the athletes marching:<\/p>\n

“United States” translates to “Stati Uniti” in Italian, pronounced “STAH-tee oo-NEE-tee.”<\/p>\n

Similarly, “the United States of America” translates to “gli Stati Uniti d’America,” pronounced “lyee STAH-tee oo-NEE-tee dah-MEH-ree-kah.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During the 2026 Parade of Nations in the Milan Cortina Olympics Opening Ceremony, you won’t hear “United States”…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":453602,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[212317,23,3,99,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":["post-453601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-2026-milan-cortina-olympics","tag-america","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=453601"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453601\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/453602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=453601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=453601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
