As the first country to host an Olympic Games, Greece is always the first nation to walk in the paÂ­ rade of athletes. So as a member of the 13-athlete Greek team, KoÂ­ lotouros will help lead the march in the stadium for opening and closing ceremonies. Kolotouros, whose parents were born in Greece, failed in an attempt to make the 1996 Atlanta Games in the nO-meter hurdles.

Taking time out from his job as a marketing analyst with UPS, KoÂ­ lotouros has participated in World Cup ev~nts in Calgary, Alberta; Park City, Utah; and the European championships in Igls, Austria.
