The Tokyo2020 Olympics officially came to a close on Sunday.
Fireworks erupt above the stadium during the Closing Ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at Olympic Stadium on August 08, 2021.
The Olympic cauldron was extinguished at 10:15 p.m., local time, leaving the global TV audience with 17-days’ worth of surprising and dramatic sports moments to remember -- and the Japanese public with a complicated Olympic legacy to ponder.Bruce Springsteen's Daughter Jessica and U.S. Equestrian Team Win Silver Medal at Tokyo Olympics
Performance highlights tended to lean on traditional culture: An interpretive dance representing Japan’s indigenous Ainu people and a song sequence referencing Japan’s summer festival of Obon. Other brief interludes -- one performed by DJ Matsunaga, a world champion Japanese scratch DJ; another by a taiko drummer -- brought welcomed bursts of energy to the show.
IOC chairman Thomas Bach used his speech to thank the athletes for “giving millions around the world hope” during the pandemic, and he extended his gratitude to the people of Japan for their determined hosting of the Games amid unprecedentedly trying circumstances.
