Life in SG - YOG Closing Ceremony Fireworks!

The YOG Closing Ceremony was held on Thursday, 26 August 2010 at The Float@Marina Bay.

In contrast to the Opening Ceremony, many of the elements of the Closing Ceremony are governed by tradition than official mandate. Usually, flag bearers from each participating country enter the stadium in single file and behind them all the athletes without any distinction or grouping by nationality to symbolise bringing all the athletes of the world together as "one nation".

After the athletes enter the stadium, three national flags are hoisted on flagpoles one at a time, while the corresponding national anthems are played. The flag of Greece will be on the middle pole to honour the birthplace of the Olympic Games; the flag of the host country will be on the left-hand pole, and the flag of the country hosting the next Summer or Winter Olympic Games on the right.

In the midst of the performances, there will be fountains, spotlight, fireworks and flames to add to the vibrancy of the celebration.
