On the evening of the 11th, the Paris Olympics will usher in the closing ceremony. After watching the unique opening ceremony on the Seine River in the rain, everyone is curious and looking forward to what kind of performance France will present to the world at the closing ceremony. And at the closing ceremony of each Olympic Games, how the main torch will be extinguished is the biggest suspense of the day.
