    It's almost like cheating how many athletes we sent. By far the longest they've had to wait to introduce the next country. lol

    Cause you're watching it on NBC. NBC has American broadcast right, so I'm going to assume they want to focus on the USA.

    That's not it. They have to wait until all the athletes clear the tunnel before introducing the next nation, and we sent waaaaay more than anyone else so far.
