Closing Ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics

Beijing 2008 OlympicsThe Beijing 2008 Olympic games has reached its peak and ends in a joyous closing ceremony at the National Stadium on Sunday, August 24, 2008.

Pyrotechnic display, silver bells dancers, light wheels and other performers made this closing event very special to more than 90,000 spectators.

The 16 days coverage of the Olympic games became the most watched television event of all time.

The performance in the closing ceremony was more lighter than the opening ceremony.

The host of the Summer Olympics has topped the count for gold medals, whilst the United States bagged the most number of medals.

Unfortunately for us Filipinos, we didn’t get any medals. However, even if our athletes returned to our homeland empty handed, we are still proud that they gave a hell of a fight. There should be no pinpointing of who’s fault and who’s to blame for the performance of our athletes. They compete hard and gave their very best . We are not just fortunate enough to win medals in this summer game. Maybe we’ll get lucky enough in 2012 in the UK!

The closing ceremony marked the start of London’s commitment as host for the 2012 Olympics.
