It was amazing having to watch the closing ceremony on TV in Tasmania , I miss watching the opening and I did watch the replays on youtube. In this Olympics there were many olympic and world records broken. Here are some pictures that I found online for the closing ceremony. The 2010 Olympic will be in London.
