There were at least 3 people who gave an Olympic oath of some sort (it was in German or Austrian, so I didn't understand it) - at any rate, not only did they hold up their right hand, they all grabbed the flag with their left hand.

I didn't know about it either but apparently every Olympiad has one:

Even in Sarajevo back in 1984:

P.S. don't want to sound like a smartass but Austrian's language is German

Thanks for your comment.
I knew about the oath, the point was, they actually grab the flag.
As far as Austrian/German - oops.
