2018 Paralympic Winter Games Closing Ceremony Approaches

On Sunday evening following final competition, the Closing Ceremonies will be held in PyeongChang Olympic Stadium. The theme is "Passion Moves Us" and athletes from different Nations will be seated stage front for best viewing. South Korean K-Pop, traditional singers and dancers will perform, as well as a dance troupe from the People's Republic of China.

Last night we practiced roles as volunteers for the Closing Ceremony. Despite -1C temp and snow, we proudly carried flags of the Nations into Olympic Stadium, watched performers refine their song and dance, and considered most efficient method of seating athletes as honored guests.

We look forward to a special tribute to physicist Stephen Hawking, who died on 14 March. Professor Hawking long-championed disability rights. The flag of the IPC will be presented to representatives of China, host of Beijing 2022 Winter Games
