On August 8, Beijing time, the closing ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics was held without spectators at the Tokyo National Arena. In each Olympic Games, the extinguishing of the flame is one of the most important links in the closing ceremony.

The extinguishing ceremony of the Olympic flame is the focus of the closing ceremonies of the previous Olympic Games.
The concept of the closing ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics is “Worlds we share”, which means “keep in mind the touch of sharing with people of different personalities and different cultural backgrounds, and join hands in creating the future.” The slogan is “Moving Forward”, which means forward and expresses the determination of the Olympic and Paralympic sports to overcome difficulties and lead all mankind out of the epidemic.
The main torch stand for the Tokyo Olympics is inspired by Mount Fuji. The top ball symbolizes the sun, meaning that the sun shines on Mount Fuji.
When the Youth Choir sang “Star Walk”, the Olympic flame was slowly extinguished in the main torch stand of the stadium. As the Olympic flame extinguished, the performers rolled their hands into a ball to pray, implying that everyone in the world also hopes for peace, praying for the souls who are not around us, and expressing gratitude.
Finally, “ARIGATO” (thank you) was displayed on the LED screen of the stadium, in the same font as “SAYONARA” spelled out at the closing ceremony of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
The Olympic flame was officially extinguished at the Tokyo National Arena. At the same time, a flag handover ceremony was held. The Tokyo Olympics officially closed and the Olympics entered the time of the Paris Olympics.

For the 2012 London Olympics, the closing ceremony was held at the “London Bowl”. At the 160-minute closing ceremony, more than 20 popular British singers appeared in turn. After the wonderful performance, as the copper petals spread out, a red “big bird” appeared above the torch, and the phoenix was reborn from the ashes. The torch is slowly extinguished, but the Olympic spirit will last forever.
In the 2016 Rio Olympics, with the beautiful singing of the famous Brazilian singer Castro and artificial rainfall, the torch of the Rio Olympics was slowly extinguished. Rio, Brazil, bid farewell to the Olympics in a light-weight way, and the Rio Olympics is over.
