The Winter Olympic Games in Milan-Cortina come to an end: Sunday, February 22, is sadly the last day of the competition. There are still great matches, including the four-man bobsleigh, women's curling final, women's 50 km classic mass start cross-country skiing and the men's ice hockey final, before the big closing ceremony at the Verona Olympic Arena.
In the two-and-a-half hours event, all athletes will attend a parade, with flags from all delegations that participated in the event. One of the key moments will be passing the torch to the French Alps 2030, for the next Winter Olympics in four years.
Beyond the traditional parade, there will be a series of musical performances, including:
Achille Lauro
Benedetta Porcaroli
Gabry Ponte
