Fire of XXXI Summer Olympic Games 2016, which were first held in South America. The closing ceremony of the Rio Olympics was held under the sign of samba, a symbol of the national identity of the Brazilians.
A total of 306 sets of awards were played in 28 sports. The USA team took the first place in the unofficial standings by a wide margin - 121 medals (46 - gold). The Russians, like four years ago in London, finished in fourth position with 56 medals (19 gold, 18 silver and 19 bronze).
It is interesting that the Ukrainian Olympic team, following the results of the competition in Rio de Janeiro, set a personal anti-record in the medal standings, having won the least number of awards for the entire existence of the country, taking only 31st line in the ranking. Ukrainian athletes managed to win only eleven medals, of which only two were gold. Well-known Ukrainian athletes believe that officials of the Ministry of Youth and Sports are to blame for the disastrous results of the 2016 Olympics for the country.

In addition to the colorful show, during the closing ceremony, the handover ceremony of the Games was held in the Japanese city of Tokyo, where the next Summer Olympics will be held four years later.
And it became one of the most memorable moments of the event, because the Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe disguised himself as the famous video game hero - Mario.
And he appeared on the stage after a video about him - in the famous red cap and with a ball in his hands.
And here is a photo of the transfer of the Olympic flag to the new host of the Games.
Japan, one of the most developed economies in the world, is expected to have an incredibly beautiful Olympics.
Earlier Medialeaks talked about the brightest and most unusual people of these Games. For example, why after lifting the bar, regardless of the results.
Tonga taekwondo fighter Pita Taufatofua drew the attention of the audience with his outfit at the opening of the Olympics - he was dressed in traditional clothing, and his naked torso was oiled. And then a scandal erupted on the Internet due to the fact that the presenters of the American channel, having decided to interview him, practically did not ask questions and did not listen to the answers, but instead smeared the man with oil with several hands. Many took it as.
By the way, he returned in his image at the closing ceremony.
The internet then discussed the Fiji national team, which won gold by beating opponents, and grabbed the attention of the audience with their singing after the game. About this tradition.

Closing ceremony of the Rio 2016 Olympics: program of the event
We emphasize that due to the serious time difference, the Russians will be able to see the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in Rio 2016 on Monday, August 22, 2016.
The event will take place at the Maracanã stadium, which can accommodate about eighty thousand people. During the action, all participants in the Olympic Games will be held in a solemn procession. According to some reports, their number will be about 11 thousand people. In total, athletes from more than two hundred countries took part in the 2016 Games, and many of them have already left home, having completed their performance at the Olympics.
It is not known for certain what exactly will be shown at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro 2016 on August 21, 2016. The organizers promise the audience a surprise and many bright and memorable moments. Nevertheless, recalling the opening of the 2016 Olympics, many have already set themselves up for disappointment in advance, and the media are adding fuel to the fire, every now and then spreading rumors about the threat of disruption of the ceremony.
It turns out that Brazil may prohibit the ceremony from being paid from the budget due to the "opacity" with which funds were spent during the opening of the Olympics. According to some reports, it is planned to spend from 24 to 80 million dollars to close the Games.
Nevertheless, there are high chances that everything will go smoothly, and the audience will not be left without the promised show with the participation of world stars.
According to the organizers, at the closing ceremony of the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, the three leaders of the overall standings will be awarded. They are currently the US, UK and China. Sports officials will make a farewell speech and the Olympic flame will be extinguished.
At the end of the closing of the Games in Rio 2016, a fire show awaits spectators, after which the XXXI Summer Olympic Games will be officially closed.

So the XXXI Summer Olympic Games, which were held this year in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, have come to an end. You could watch the closing ceremony of the Games with the help of ours, but now it's time to take a closer look at what happened on this colorful show.
The closing ceremony of the Olympics ended at the Maracanã stadium just a couple of hours ago. The bright event had to endure a small test - torrential rain, which, however, could not spoil the mood of the audience, dressed in raincoats.
Hundreds of artists, honored to participate in such a landmark event, told the guests gathered at the stadium about the culture, history and nature of Brazil through music and dance.
In general, the last ceremony most of all resembled the world famous Brazilian carnival. The brightest costumes, the most incendiary dances and the funniest music - all this was here.
Famous musicians also performed at the Maracanã stadium, including the singer Lenine, Marien de Castro, Martino da Vilo and others.
Not without beautiful models. If the main star was Gisele Bundchen, but this time another Brazilian supermodel, Isabelle Gular, who took part in the carnival, attracted all the attention.
The next Summer Olympics will be held in Tokyo. During the closing ceremony, the capital of Japan was presented as a city destined to host athletes and guests from all over the world in four years.
Another important part of the closing ceremony is the procession of athletes. The flag of our country was carried by the synchronized swimmers Svetlana Romashina and Natalya Ishchenko, who won gold at the Olympics. In general, the procession of the Olympians was very merry - the athletes were finally able to relax a little and join the rhythm of the festive carnival "Maracana". The champions danced, sang along to the musicians and congratulated each other on new victories.
By the end of the ceremony, the carnival show gained momentum and, as a result, absolutely everyone danced on the "Maracana"!
Now let's summarize the results of the Olympics. Despite the doping scandal preceding the Games, due to which many of our athletes were unable to take part in the competition, the Russian national team still showed an excellent result. In the overall medal standings, our country ended up in fourth place. Russian athletes won 56 medals. Of these, 19 awards of the highest gold standard, 18 silver medals and 19 bronze ones.
The first ten leaders of the past Olympic Games are as follows:
USA (121 medals: 46 gold, 37 silver, 38 bronze)
Great Britain (66 medals: 27 gold, 23 silver, 17 bronze)
China (70 medals: 26 gold, 18 silver, 26 bronze)
Russia (56 medals: 19 gold, 18 silver, 19 bronze)
Germany (42 medals: 17 gold, 10 silver, 15 bronze)
Japan (41 medals: 12 gold, 8 silver, 21 bronze)
France (42 medals: 10 gold, 18 silver, 14 bronze)
