盤點歷屆奧運會上傷自尊的烏龍事件
Olympics officials in Rio have apologized after discovering they were raising an incorrect Chinese national flag during medal ceremonies.
頒獎儀式上升起的中國國旗有誤，里約奧委會官員表示道歉。
Both Chinese flags are red and feature a large yellow star flanked by four smaller stars. But there are subtle differences in how the smaller stars are aligned.
兩面中國國旗是紅色的，上面有四顆小五角星環拱一顆大的黃色五角星。但小星星的排列方式卻有細微差錯。
On the correct Chinese flag the four smaller stars should be rotated so that they point toward the center of the larger star. Instead, the flags used in Rio were positioned parallel to each other.
正確的中國國旗上，四顆小五角星應該有所偏轉，指向大五角星的中心。但里約使用的國旗上，星星是彼此平行的。

One of four pillars designed to rise from the stadium floor and form the Olympic cauldron malfunctioned, leaving the speedskater Catriona LeMay Doan unable to join in the lighting.

The traditional release of live doves at the Olympic opening ceremony was abandoned after Seoul 1988, when around 10 chose not to swoop majestically across the sky but instead to settle on the rim of the Olympic cauldron just as it was being lit and were instantly burned to death.
1988年漢城奧運會後，奧運會開幕式上不再延續放飛鴿子的傳統。因爲在那一屆奧運會開幕式上，大約有十隻鴿子沒有選擇莊嚴地劃過天空，而是停留在即將被點燃的奧運聖火邊緣，接着立刻被燒死。
