    BEIJING is still the best both in opening and closing ceremony....it will be remembered forever...they showed their creativity,great effort and unity...im not a Chinese but i saluted their love and D-D-CATION towards their culture...
    what they did was truly amazing...without the help of those WELL KNOWN celebrities/singers yet they still managed to AWE the world...well done TALENTED,CREATIVE CHINA.

    i guess some say that beijing closing ceremony is boring cuz they can not fully understand the culture. i am a chinese so i can understand it and gain a lot of fun from it. for me this one is so touching as actually i can rarely see those traditonal performances nowadays. it is always good to remind people of their own culture and to cherish it. in my opinon there's no point to compare it with london ceremony as they are based on different cultures and history.

    The point of the ceremonies is to highlight the history and culture of the host city. Every country and city has a different history and future. All of the ceremonies are special because they united the world under one roof. People need to get over the fact that London wasn't as spectacular as Beijing! Who knows if any ceremony will ever beat Beijing's! However, we need to stay supportive because as Pierre de Coubertin said, "The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.

  • @KuroiLavi

    I think that Great Britain is so much more than music, I was hoping to see a little more of history and tribute to its culture and people, but their closing ceremony was more like 10% tribute to their culture and 90% tribute to their current celebrities

    London and Beijing were both good in different ways. to say one was better than the other is not the most mature way to look at it. they were both great ceremonies in their own way, Beijing was grand with incredible colours and fireworks and CGI special effects. London was a celebration of music and historical industry with soul filled references to the youth.

      +Paolo Budiel We [UK] have deep history and culture, sadly, most of it can not be displayed in this form, although I feel they ought to have tried, no less, this is why we ended up what we did...we also spent only 9 billion, China spent 40 billion. However, London was okay and a huge huge event. Of course it's not what it ought to have been, but everybody knows China does everything better than everybody else and they have very very deep culture of which can be called upon and elegantly, effortlessly displayed in this form.
      Compared to China, every other was a school play. Lol.

      +The Anti-Theist Why do you think the Chinese spent 40 billion on the Games and London a fraction of that cost? Because London isn't as insecure as Beijing was. London is a world class city with or without hosting the Olympics, it didn't need to spend so lavishly when it already had the infrastructure in place as well as a lot of the venues.Beijing may have outdone London in terms of scale (and let's not put the UK down here since China is a much bigger country) but London was better in terms of heart and soul.

      +Tom Riddle LOL let's not do the comparison by putting down each other. If you're talking about "heart and soul", please search the history and culture of Beijing and comment again. I am sure Beijing wasn't only better than London in terms of scale and population. But yeah I would believe infrastructure and many other aspects in London are still better.

    I'm British/Chinese and I am proud to be one. I loved the Beijing's closing ceremony and I think there's nothing wrong with the London Closing Ceremony, I really enjoyed it, yes its more like a concert but Britain has a popular music industry and it is part of the culture, not to mention, high tea, comedy and the respect of the deceased singers I loved it. But I really wish they do a better job on the opening ceremony though, I don't mind the others but the phone texting part was just ridiculous

    Every single Olympics in history did a great job. None of them are the best, they are equal. The olympics is to bring us together, not to split us up. You even see athletes becoming friends even if they were against each other. So, lets become. "One world." Not, one country and let Rio have their turn.

    “My memory of the Beijing Olympics has not changed. It is a fake smile, an elaborate costume party with the sole intention of glorifying the country … Through authoritarian power a country can possess many things, but it cannot bring joy or happiness to its people.” Ai Weiwei
    Beijing showed the world, huge numbers of people doing as they are told in unison. GB showed individual freedom and creativity. It depends what floats your boat, both are pretty representative.

    Seriously?
    Why can't we all just enjoy the performances? Instead of badmouthing each other's ceremonies and comparing them in a detrimental way, why not appreciate all the time and effort it must have taken to create these portrayals, and realize that each and every host nation has brought and will bring something new to the table? Isn't that what the Olympics are about--bringing people together? It's people who argue over such trivial things that make the world such a hard place to live in...
