However, the closing ceremony was even more picturesque. The special effects of the drones made the evening even more special and heartwarming.

The theme of the light show was “Moving Forward”. The gorgeous amalgamation of rays of lights, revolving around and representing various colours of flags all over the world, wowed everyone. Amidst the darkness, the rising of individual lights symbolised the spirits, passion, dedication and hard work of all the athletes who made this event special.

The organisers thus said, “Together, these lights rise to form a luminous wave — representing the Olympic spirit that lives within us all. As these lights take flight across the stadium, we remember the many people whose contribution made the Olympics possible, both near and far, as well as those who could not be here today“.

The organizers claimed that the “large, round fireworks form a ring of rainbow bridges that symbolize a united world.”
