Russia (bbabo.net), - The Beijing Olympics have come to an end. For two weeks we have been following the events in the main sports arenas this winter. It seemed that the opening ceremony had just passed, the Olympic flame had just been lit at the Bird's Nest stadium, but today we will say goodbye to the Olympics.

The standard-bearer of our team will be the skier Alexander Bolshunov, a three-time Olympic champion of these Games. He won his third gold award the day before - in a marathon shortened due to bad weather.

The Olympic flag will be handed over to the mayors of the Italian cities of Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo. They will host the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Text online broadcast of the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in Beijing will begin at 15.00 Moscow time.
