Beijing bids farewell to Olympics

[Gavin]

The Olympic Games have drawn to a close with a glittering ceremony inside Beijing's Bird's Nest Stadium.

Spectacular fireworks kicked off the proceedings, while a beautifully choreographed drumming and dancing display recalled the opening ceremony.

It was a more celebratory affair, as exuberant athletes, dancers and musicians got into the party spirit.

The Olympic flag was handed to London mayor Boris Johnson, with organisers briefly showcasing the 2012 Games.

The countdown to 2012 has started, and organisers will know they have a great deal to live up to with China hosting one of the best organised Games in history and staging some of the most memorable opening and closing ceremonies ever seen.


I really enjoyed the olympics this year, and i cant wait for london 2012 :yes:

I hope I get to see all of the closing ceremony because I forgot it was ending today. Also, I didn't get to see the person I wanted to see. Damn camera operators/editors.

Go Vancouver!!! Maybe I can take a break from school and go down to see them. :D

Anyways, I've never watched any Olympics before this, but I must say it really surpassed my expectations.I loved the gymnastics, seeing Michael Phelps swim, and all the rest of it. I'm just sad I never saw the Table Tennis. :(

I'll definitely be waiting both the 2010 and 2012 Olympics with much anticipation.
