Do you think that it was disappointing that the closing ceremony didnt appear to be about the athletes?

Question

In recent Olympic games the closing has been the athletes celebration and the time that they really let their hair down, however this time I felt that Beijing went over the top selling themselves to the world as they did in the Opening Ceremony.

Don't get me wrong, the Chinese people have done a spectacular job but I would have liked to see them be less selfish with the closing and to make it more about the celebration of the athletes achievements than themselves as a nation.

As an Aussie I was particularly disappointed not to see a shot of our three time gold winner Steph Rice carrying our flag.

Answer 1

I wish they would've been more about the athletes also.

Answer 2

no. the olympics were obviously rigged by the china-mans.  

Answer 3

No.. its not dissapointing. because the olympics is about how the country reunited as one its not about just one country like america & australia!

its fair because i have been trying to search  information to all the videos & news to all countries & what do i see is always australia and usa news & vids..

its fair & square
