BNT Will Deliver Live Coverage of the Winter Olympics 2018 Opening Ceremony

The official opening ceremony of the 23rd Winter Olympics will start in Pyeongchang, South Korea, at 20:00 local time on 9^th of February.

BNT 1 and BNT HD will present live coverage of the event at 13:00 Bulgarian time and a repeat at 19:00.

As in every Olympics opening ceremony, athletes will march into the stadium under their country's flag during the Parade of Nations. As part of the tradition, the athletes from the home of the Olympic Games – Greece, will march first. The Bulgarian delegation includes 21 athletes in 6 disciplines. This is our most prominent presence at the Winter Olympics after the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002. The Bulgarian flag bearer will be the winner of the World Snowboard Cup in the parallel giant slalom, Radoslav Yankov.

A record 102 medals will be awarded in 15 disciplines. 2,925 contestants from 92 countries will participate in the races. For the first time in the history of the Winter Olympics, teams from Malaysia, Singapore, Ecuador, Eritrea, Kosovo and Nigeria will participate.
