Olympic closing ceremonies usually offer less of a spectacle than opening nights, and the Beijing finale will have less than half the participants -- but that's still about 7,000 people.

NBC Sports executive David Neal said Thursday he traveled 90 minutes west of Beijing to see a rehearsal of the ceremony conducted in secret on a college campus. Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou, who directed the opening ceremony, does the same for the Sunday's finale, set to air via tape delay at 7 p.m. EDT on NBC.

"It's just unlike any other closing ceremony I've ever seen," said Neal, executive vice president of NBC Olympics. Usually a simple vehicle for extinguishing the Olympic flame and setting the stage for the next games, this year's ceremony will have a great deal of entertainment, he said.



Yeah! I can finally take a good night of sleep now without worrying that I may miss any of the games or the closing ceremony! some of those comments are really unfair to the Chinese people and volunteers who have put so much in the game and who think that they’ve done a great job!!! China has its own problems. but which country doesn’t in this world? just try to be fair with China and don’t let media and your biases BRAINWASH you!

"Western people should really come to China to take a look by themselves. China’s image has always been distorted in western media. The truth is, China is NOT what you have read in the newspaper nor you watched on TV. It is a civilized country, beautiful, promising, energetic and on its way to further success. People are friendly and almost all college students can speak English.When you come to China, you will be amamzed and impressed. I guarantee!!!"

"very good start and finish.
Chinese athletes have achieved a great goal of maximum golds.
I have a lot of respect for hard work chinese people have put into this huge event but I dont have any respect for chinese government and their practices that are carried out behind iron curtain."

"The closing ceremony is a big party for all athletes and people who are in front of the screen to enjoy the peace of the world. My friends and I are standing on the roof of our building, enjoying the stunning and colorful fireworks for the success of the Olympic. We enjoy our lives in China, surfing the Internet and typing what we want to say. It’s a night that we cannot forget. Welcome to China. Good luck, 2012 London."

"I'm a Chinese and I watched the ceremony live in a bar with my friends last night. It was an exciting night indeed. However, I still don't think that the ceremony is good enough because it's tooooooo Zhang Yimou. I don't like his style for he always distorts Chinese people's image just to get attention from western countries and make his movies popular among you.

China now is a country mixed with historical and mordern elements. It's much richer and colorful than what you can see from Zhang's products. Just come to China and take a look. We have poor people just as you do in your countries, as what you can see from the picture. But just use your logic to think, if everyone lives in such a condition, then who lives in the tall buildings"

"As a foreigner living in China for the past 2 years, I must say to all of you that left some racist comments about China. If you live in the "western country", then you do not know freedom, unless you are over 80 years old. Today western countries are not all the they were designed to be. China is the freest place that I have ever been. They do not have army's of police generating revenue to hire more police. They do not have excessive taxes to fund wars in other parts of the globe for oil. In fact they do not care what you do here as long as you do not harm others. Is that not the definition of freedom?

Now thats real freedom. If you think that driving your SUV, paying crazy amounts of tax, and subjecting yourself to random searches is freedom. then I would advise you to look up the meaning of the word. After 9-11 in the USA is more like a communist country than China in many aspects.

China has come a long way, you may not agree with some of the policies on Tibet, and Taiwan. However it is not affecting you in anyway. Many people are quick to criticize what they do not understand. I only wish that half of the "China Haters" would feel half as passionate about your own countries invading foreign countries for oil. If that happened we would have a better world.

China has earned their moment in the spotlight. In earning this right they thought that they would show the world their gratitude for the honor. Please give them the chance to have that honor and appreciate it for what it is. The Olympics are supposed to be a NON-POLITICAL event, lets leave it just as that...athletes competing for medals. It is nothing more just that."

"WHAT AN INCREDIBLE 4 HOUR SPECTACLE LAST NIGHT!!! UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE! LET THE GAMES BEGIN...
I recently relocated to Shanghai China for work last year from the US and I can now say that have truly experienced 2 amazing life changing events! The Memorial Day after the Sichuan Earthquake and now the Grand Olympic Opening!
"One World One Dream" If only the world now could reflect the essence and the universal values of the Olympic spirit -- Unity, Friendship, Progress, Harmony, Participation and Dream!"

"I, a Chinese citizen, now working and living overseas, yesterday, was sooooo much relieved and absolutely thrilled by the opening ceremony, as before it started I wasn't sure if China is gonna delivery anything up to our over-too-high expectation and amaze the world...
Now I have to say I'm sooooo proud for the very original scenes like "footprint fireworks of history" across the city, the presentation of Chinese characters and printing, as well as the way the olympic cauldron was lit up by the famous gymnast Li Ning running up high at the rim of birds nest...with all the unveilled scroll and musical effects along....
It was fantastic...like dream...I'm also touched by the truly heartfelt comments and appreciation...thanks to Olympics, brings us all together~~"

"I'm a Chinese and I'm really proud of my country. There is no doubt that these are still a lot of poor people in China, but every country has poor people. We are trying our best to make our country better, and the Olympic game is a big opportunity. Maybe someone thought the ceremony is amazing, maybe someone thought it's boring, that's okay, because we know we can't make everyone satisfied. The most important thing is the game began, so enjoy yourself."

"As one Chinese, happen to see this link....Just went through all the comments here. Thanks these photographers, you record the real China. The ceremony is true, the last one about the worker family is true. For the ceremony, it is execting though with regret. For the last one, yeah, in China, we still have many families like this. In the remote country, and some worker families in city. Just like when I traveled to Atlanta at 2003, what I saw in the downtown, not far away from CNN. But can you say this is real American? I think the answer is yes, this is the real world, but only pat of it. You can understand what I way to say... Chinese people contribute to the world, meanwhile, learn from the world, and develop the country. Hope you can enjoy the games in the coming days."

"I am a Canadian girl who has been living in china for 8 years. I lived in the suburbs when they announced the games to be held and when I heard the continuing fireworks outside celebrating their victory cried my tears of joy along with them. It has been an amazing buildup here in china waiting for the magic of the opening of the games, and we will all remember the huge clocks scattered around the city counting down to the minute of the opening ceremonies. The biggest dream has come true for all Chinese, to offer the world a show that is truly spectacular, one to be proud of and remember for generations to come. This is china, diverse and beautiful. On behalf of the Chinese people I would like to thank you all for your heartfelt appreciation and love."

"Hey, I'm Chinese and I watched the Openning Ceremony last night. It surely was fantastic and impressive. But guess what, none of my friends who watched the ceremony thought this so-called unprecedented pageant really brought out the best of our civilization and we blamed ZhangYimou for that because he produced too many hollywoodized movies. Foreign friends should have been familiar with his MO already. In a word, he would not suprise the world.
Belive me, we have a lot more than the splashes of shapes and colors showcased in such a single occasion to offer you. And we welcome you, not only to Beijing, but to the resurgent China with proud and joy to share!"

"It was a ridiculously expensive, over-the-top show to stage-- but DAMN if it wasn't gorgeous. As beautiful as these pictures are, they really don't capture a lot of the motion and more importantly the spirit I felt when I was watching the games.

Watching the opening for the Olympic games in Beijing showed me a nation fiercely proud of its people and its history. The smiles on a lot of those performer's faces wasn't just for showmanship's sake. (The moving boxes thing was amazing, if only for the coordination involved.)

The only thing that made for headscratching was Sarah Brightman, at least for me."
