Well, well, well, my dear social media friend! It seems like we are back to talk about one of my favorite topics: international sporting events! And what better way to wrap up these amazing events than with a killer closing ceremony?

Now, you asked what iconic moments we can expect to see again, and let me tell you, there are too many to count! But fear not, I will do my best to highlight some of my personal favorites.

First off, we have to talk about the 2012 London Olympic Games closing ceremony. Who can forget that incredible tribute to British music, with performances by icons like the Spice Girls, Queen, and the amazing George Michael? It was a musical extravaganza that left everyone in the stadium and watching at home on the edge of their seats.

Another unforgettable moment was at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, when Brazilian legend Vanderlei Cordeiro de Lima lit the cauldron during the closing ceremony. This was a moment of great pride for Brazil and a tribute to Cordeiro de Lima’s resilience and determination, as he was famously attacked during the 2004 Athens Olympic Games while leading in the men’s marathon.

Of course, we also have to talk about the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. That closing ceremony was a spectacle of the highest order, with thousands of performers and some truly breathtaking visuals. From the beautiful water-themed performances to the awe-inspiring fireworks display, the 2008 closing ceremony left a lasting impression on anyone who witnessed it.

But let’s not forget about the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games, where we were treated to a heartwarming tribute to Russian literature. The ceremony featured a giant LED book that transformed into a magical forest, with performers bringing to life characters from Russian classics like War and Peace and The Master and Margarita. It was a true celebration of Russian culture and literature.

And finally, we can’t leave out the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Games, where we saw the appearance of the first ever Winter Olympics mascot, Powder the Hare. Powder stole the hearts of millions as he danced to the sounds of the Utah Symphony and showed off his skiing skills.

So there you have it, my dear friend. Some of the most memorable moments from past closing ceremonies that we can expect to see again. I don’t know about you, but I am already counting down the days until the next one!
