On a humid Sunday night in Tokyo, the extraordinary 2020 Games came to a close with one final spectacle. Here are the best sights and sounds from the Closing Ceremony.
For 17 days this summer, the world watched a Games that was at once unifying, polarizing, surreal and indelible. Held even as the COVID-19 pandemic forced Japan into a nationwide state of emergency, with sparsely populated stands and rigorous health and safety protocols, athletes overcame upended training routines to deliver moments that won't be forgotten.
The Olympic flame burns as athletes and volunteers carry flags during the closing ceremony in the Olympic Stadium at the 2020 Summer Olympics, Sunday, Aug. 8, 2021, in Tokyo, Japan. Unlike the Opening Ceremony, in which athletes march into the stadium divided by country, during the Closing Ceremony they arrive together, symbolically showing that we are all one people.
