The Closing Ceremony - Rio

The Rio Olympics has finished. I was excited about watching it as usual.

I thought that the showcase by the next host city Tokyo was pretty good.

Surprisingly, Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, dressed as Super Mario, emerged from a pipe.
This stole the show!!

I have already said but again. I really liked the cauldron in the Rio Olympics.
The photo doesn't show how beautiful it is. You should see the moving cauldron.
