Download Full Closing Ceremony?
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!
