Oath session updated

One of the most symbolic parts of the opening ceremony – the Olympic oath – has been significantly adapted in order to "highlight the importance of solidarity, inclusion, non-discrimination and equality".

The number of oath-takers will also be extended from three to six - two athletes, two coaches and two judges.
