Lee Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 A closing ceremony should be far more upbeat with lots of cheering. The athletes entry with the flags should be more like manchester 2002 when there was a definite party atmosphere. It all lacks energy for me.

micheal_warren Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 great to see the ever-swindell twins carrying the new zealand flag! They won gold in the womens double sculls in 2008 and 2004! A brilliant performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citius Altius Fortius Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 well - the closing ceremony started 40 minutes ago and I think the entrance of the athletes was the sole "highpoint" so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobi Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) Since TVE-1 doesn't seem especially interested in the closing ceremony (4 commercial breaks so far ¬¬), I'm going to watch it via TVE-Teledeporte (although i'm a bit bored ).
