30 to 40 Canadian athletes will participate in the opening ceremony, which will take place behind closed doors on Thursday night, unlike the usual 160 athletes.

In addition, athletes are not required to participate in the official opening of the competition. Oftentimes, events are held as early as the next day for some athletes.

However, according to Eric Miles, the evening promises to be exciting for viewers.
