Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony: Vancouver Passes The Torch To Sochi

The 2010 Winter Olympics came to an official close Sunday night when the Olympic Flame was extinguished as Canadian Neil Young sang, “Long May You Run.”

Then, things got weird.

If you’re watching the Closing Ceremony, then you no doubt saw the United States contigent come storming into Vancouver’s BC Place.

Does the fashion industry have the term “dapper prep”? If so, the U.S. just won gold.

Sunday night, the 2010 Winter Olympics draw to a close, 17 days after they begin. Two plus weeks of skiing, skating a sledding competition has yielded the stage to the city Vancouver, which will now say goodbye to the world, and pass the torch onto to Sochi, Russia, site of the 2014 Winter Games.

Tonight’s ceremony will be more festive and informal than the Opening Ceremony (see: the mime that came out to “fix” that broken arm on the torch).
