Closing Ceremonies

The sun is setting again in Hinawa. The final ceremonies are about to begin at the Hinawa Dome and the athletes are on their way to bid their final farewells. There's a feeling of accomplishment in the city, the games went smoothly and all the athletes gave their best when competing. There is also a feeling of sadness that the games have already come to an end.





Micro buses carrying the athletes are escorted to the Hinawa Dome in the Sports Village so they may bid their final farewells and thank their supporters.



The sun slowly begins to dip into the horizon and the roof of the Hinawa Dome opens again to reveal the athletes' final parade thanking their supporters.



With the sun finally dipping over the horizon, all eyes turned to the torch plaza where a massive beam has captured everyone's attention.



The Simlympic Flame burned for the 17 days during the games and is slowly extinguished as the sun sets. Strong at first, the beam slowly fades. The Simlympic Flame will now wait for its next host in a few months time.



As night approaches, the ISC President and Mayor of Hinawa give their final speeches at the closing ceremonies. Both thank parties involved in organizing the games and congratulate all participants for a great Simlympiad.





Firework displays erupt throughout the city to celebrate a successful Simlympiad.

From Hinawa, I hope you enjoyed the July Simlympics!
