There were a lot of disappointed viewers after
the closing ceremonies of the Olympics.
They missed important aspects of British heritage…the
Prime Minister enjoying a little Spice Girls… NBC cut out performances to air a
new comedy…
With all of the complaining (which could just
the manifestation of our disappointment that the Olympics are over), some
very interesting traditions we looked into.
Did you know every Olympics closing ceremony
has 5 traditions?
Check them out…
1. Parade
of Flags
2. Parade
of Athletes
3. Final
Medal Ceremony
4. Handover
to the Next Host Country
5. Declaration
of Closing and Olympic Flame Extinguishment
Putting aside the upsets over the performances, we're happy to
take a moment to step back, appreciate the traditions, and congratulate our
country for such great success!
