When is ending of olympics

And that was all before the final days of competition. The Tokyo Olympics are drawing to a close, though, and that means the Closing Ceremony and then the world will get ready for the Summer Paralympics, beginning Aug.

Tokyo will conclude on Sunday, Aug. After the last goal is scored and the final winner is declared, the Closing Ceremony will take place at the Tokyo Olympic Stadium at 8 p.

EST in the U. NBC will broadcast the ceremonies live on Sunday at 7 a. EST, and will also rebroadcast the Closing Ceremony in primetime at p. EST that same day. However, dignitaries and officials will be present, as well as those athletes remaining in Tokyo. Athletes traditionally enter the arena for a parade after the entry of each nation's flags. A final medal ceremony is usually held for one of the events of the last day. In the Games in Rio, it was for the marathon. One key part of the closing ceremony is the Antwerp ceremony - the handing over of the Olympic flag to the next host nation.

It is raised to the sounds of the Greek national anthem, as an acknowledgement of the Games' ancient origins. Afterwards, the flag is lowered, and the chief official representing the host city hands it over to the head of the IOC, who then passes the flag to the chief official representing the next host city - in this case, Paris. While the opening ceremony's artistic segment was designed to display Japan's culture and society, at the closing ceremony the artistic segment will do the same for France.

The final key element of the closing ceremony is, of course, the extinguishing of the Olympic flame. Where can I keep up with it on the night?
