The Closing Ceremony marks the final chapter of the Olympic Games, bringing athletes, nations and fans together for a powerful celebration of unity and achievement. The evening blends music, dance, and world-class performance as teams march together in a symbolic parade of solidarity, followed by the official handover to the next host city. The Olympic Flame is extinguished in an emotional finale, honoring the athletes’ journeys and the unforgettable moments that defined the Olympic Games. It is both a celebration and a farewell—a spectacular event that captures the spirit, creativity, and global connection of the Olympic Games.
At the Closing Ceremony, athletes don’t march by country. Instead, they enter the stadium together as one group—a tradition started in 1956 to symbolize peace and friendship among nations.
