Olympic Closing Ceremony

So its all over and I don't know about you but my interest in the Olympic games has been raised quite a bit over the last 2 weeks.

I never really watched the Sydney or Athens games but I was tuning into Beijing almost every day for these ones. Perhaps it was the controversy of it being held in China but either way I think China did an amazing job!

The Telegraph.co.uk describes as-it-happened last night with the awesome closing ceremony and handover to the UK of the Olympic Flag for London 2012

Beijing Closing Ceremony 2008


I dont know I will get to stay up for it, since the closing ceremony of the 2008 Olympics Games in Beijing happens around Midnight NZ time, Darn!


I am sure they will put on a great show but I really want to see the segment where they hand over the reigns to the UK for London 2012. Apparently the UK BOC gets an 8 Minute slot to plug the 2012 games to the world.

Olympics Closing Ceremony

I am really looking forward to the Closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, I just hope that those nasty terrorists don't get up to any nonsense.

( hope they go 100% real this time too! ) I can spot those CGI's a mile away.
