An announcement over the tannoy requests the athletes take their seats so the ceremony can continue.
And again. But the stars of the show merrily dance on. France are doing a sort of ring-o-roses thing. Great Britain are posing for a team shot.
Don't keep the nice lady waiting too long guys...

We're not only bidding China farewell.
During these Olympics we said goodbye to Shaun White as his glittering snowboarding career came to an end.
He could not add to his three gold medals at his fifth Games.

A number of athletes have legged it towards their nation’s flag bearers for a hug and a selfie, chased down by a volunteer who continues to dance while trying to bring them back to the middle.
More and more are doing it though!

Two-time Olympic champion on BBC TVOn the Kamila Valieva situation:
It is heart-breaking. Every athlete wants a fair playing field. We also want to protect the health and mental health of athletes. The biggest thing I have learned it remembering athletes are humans. We need to protect our young athletes.

Has she chosen this situation she has put herself in? In the same way it is black and white [failed drugs test]. We need to know more.
This can never happen again. We need a fair sporting playing field going forwards.
Highlights of the Games: Controversy, angry & agony for Valievapublished at 12:10 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2022
Figure skating
One of the biggest stories of these Games has been that of figure skater Kamila Valieva.
The 15-year-old began by wowing the world by becoming the first woman to land a quadruple jump at the Olympics but things soon turned to story of controversy that engulfed the Games.
It was announced the Russian had failed a drugs test but she was still allowed to compete in the individual event. It all ended in tears when she tumbled in an error-strewn routine.

Controversy at the Gamespublished at 12:04 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2022
Image source, Getty ImagesAt the Games' Opening Ceremony, Uyghur cross-country skier Dinigeer Yilamujiang was one of the athletes to lit the flame.
China is accused of widespread human rights abuses against Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang region, including forced sterlisation, forced labour and brutal regimes within "reducation camps" that house up to a million people.
"I think it was a lovely concept," said IOC spokesperson Mark Adams of Yilamujiang's involvement.
China has described allegations of abuse of Uyghurs as "lies".

And China's organisers have decided that that the open they had for the opening ceremony - the story of a snowflake - is good enough to last for the closing ceremony.
Hopefully the snowflake won't end as muddy roadside slush. That would be a downer.
Right, International Olympic Committee big cheese Thomas Bach is in seat and that is the cue for some young dancers to start twirling on the stadium floor.

Four-time Olympic alpine ski racer on BBC TVIt is really important to see it is not all victory. Shiffrin was someone who has so much expectation, loses their cape and we love her for it. She delivered raw honesty in her interviews.
We are all coming out of a pandemic. It is not easy for anyone. For her to say she is here to fight another day was very powerful.

One of the biggest names coming into these Olympics was US skier Mikaela Shiffrin.
It did not turn out how she or many others expected, however.
Shiffrin crashed out of three of her best events and did not manage to grab a medal in the others.
