Parade of the Athletes is a retrospective mix by Dutch DJ Tiësto of his live set performed during the opening ceremony of the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece on 13 August 2004 (see 2004 in music). This was the first time that a DJ was asked to perform for a ceremony at the Olympics. Recognizing one of their own, the Dutch team came up to the booth while Tiësto was performing this set. All of the songs on this track are original songs composed by Tiësto except for "Adagio for Strings", which is his own remix of Samuel Barber's piece by the same name (the remix was also influenced by William Orbit's original electronic remix of the piece in 1999), and "Athena", which is also a remix of Adagio in G minor, a piece often attributed to Tomaso Albinoni, but actually composed by Remo Giazotto.

[es] Parade of the Athletes

Parade of the Athletes es el tercer álbum así como el primer álbum sin contar con artistas terceros, del productor de trance Tiësto. Este álbum sería compuesto especialmente para la apertura de los Juegos Olímpicos de Atenas 2004; gracias a una solicitud especial de dicha asociación del evento cuyo costo total excedió los $40 000 000 000. Este álbum fue auspiciado por Tiësto y los juegos olímpicos en paralelo aunque el álbum fue lanzado posteriormente. Es considerado por curiosos como un álbum recopilatorio por incluir antiguos temas populares "Traffic", "Lethal Industry", "Adagio for Strings" y "Forever Today" pero en realidad estas canciones están mezcladas y difieren de cualquier otro álbum lanzado en el pasado.
