What is the Olympic Closing Ceremony about?

According to the Olympics, the closing ceremony of the first modern Olympics was very different from today’s closing ceremony.

There are many key parts to the Olympic Closing Ceremony. First, the host country’s head of state and the IOC president enter. After that, the host country’s national anthem is sung or played while the national flag is raised.

Other traditional elements often appear at the Closing Ceremony, such as the parade of athletes and flags. Next, the Olympic flag will be handed over to the representative of the city that will host the Olympic Games four years later.

In addition, several final medals are awarded at the Closing Ceremony, which is also known as the “Record”.

At the end of the closing ceremony, the Olympic flame was lit.
