    		None so far.

    However, a few countries may (or may not) boycott the opening ceremony. For example France, Poland and Taiwan (the latter enters the Olympics as 'Chinese Taipei').

    Some Eastern European leaders have vowed to stay way from the opening ceremony, including Czech President Vaclav Klaus, his Estonian counterpart Toomas Hendrik Ilves, and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
