Two thousand athletes from the Trudoviye Reservy Sports Society formed the five Olympic rings on the field, with four-tier live "vases" in the middle of the rings.

In the finale all 16,000 participants in the programme came out onto the field. The athletes in the stands created a mosaic picture of the Earth with a star on it symbolising Moscow, host of the Games. The spectators continued to applaud long after the performers left the field.

Hope you enjoyed this vids. The Closing Ceremony will be uploaded soon...
