Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia 2014 - Closing Ceremony

The XXII Winter Olympic Games in Sochi 2014- Closing Ceremony has finally ended!

The young girl who was flying a kite and was swept away by the wind through the clouds in the sky is now on board the boat with another girl and a young boy, including the sailor, and the fisherman. Followed by children in white robes carrying white birds. It could be representation of seagulls or white doves.The Fisht stadium is now built like a huge ocean beneath a school of fish, thousands of these people wearing shiny, bright silvery colored costumes dance around the ocean sparkling like waves and which represented as fishes or marine creatures. Later on they moved around making different shapes of snowflakes and lastly into circle formation providing the five circles representing the FIVE RINGS of the OLYMPIC GAMES symbol.

It was spectacular. Majestic! The special effects? Reminds me of the Life of Pi movie. FISHT Stadium is the most modern structure ever built to glorify spectacular shows on earth.

Next was the entrance of President Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia. Handshake with the IOC Official.

Entrance of the Russian flag carried by Russian athletes to be raised at the main stage of the Stadium. Children singing their national anthem.

This is the largest (in numbers) of the participation of the Olympic athletes within the stadium and within the programs held to support the Game. Olympiad.

A pianist entered the stage the 3 young children came and joined the 60 pianists seated playing at their pianos. Ballet performances followed courtesy from the Bolshoi Ballet Dance company. Arabian dancers joined in. Big beautiful chandelier in focus after the dance then the three children once again appeared, one carrying a brown teddy bear. Who the three young children and who they represent? Next, the entrance of the Circus with the funny psychedelic designed mini-bus and the circus performers of acrobats and clowns.
