Although it doesn’t typically have as much flourish and fanfare as the Olympics opening ceremony, the closing ceremony of each Olympic Games is an important event for athletes and fans. Held on the final Sunday of the Olympics, the closing ceremony marks the end of one set of games and passes the torch to the next.
