About Beijing Olympic Closing Ceremony
The closing ceremony must take place in the stadium after the end of all the events. The flag bearers of the participating delegations and the name-board-bearers enter the stadium in single file. Behind them march the athletes, without distinction of nationality.
The flag bearers then form a semi-circle behind the rostrum.
The President of the IOC and the President of the OCOG mount the rostrum. To the sounds of the Greek national anthem, the Greek flag is hoisted on the flagpole that stands to the right of the central flagpole used for the winners' flags. The flag of the host country is then hoisted on the central flagpole, while its anthem is played. Finally, the flag of the host country of the next Olympic Games is hoisted on the lefthand flagpole to the strains of its anthem.
The mayor of the host city joins the President of the IOC on the rostrum and returns to him the Olympic flag. The president of the IOC then entrusts it to the mayor of the host city of the following Olympic Games. This flag must be displayed in the latter city's main municipal building.
After an address by the President of the OCOG, the President of the IOC gives the closing speech of the Olympic Games, which he ends with these words:
"I declare the Games of the … Olympiad closed and, in accordance with tradition, I call upon the youth of the world to assemble four years from now at … to celebrate with us there the Games of the … Olympiad".
A fanfare then sounds; the Olympic flame is extinguished, and while the Olympic anthem is being played, the Olympic flag is slowly lowered from the flagpole and, unfurled horizontally, carried out of the arena, followed by the flag bearers. A farewell song resounds.

关于北京奥运会闭幕式
所有赛事结束之后会在运动场举行闭幕式。参加代表团的旗手和名义委员持单文件进入体育场。在他们后面的是不分国籍的参赛选手。
举旗手绕场半周回幕后。
主席的国际奥委会和奥运会组委会主席登上讲台。根据希腊国歌的声音，希腊国旗悬挂在旗杆上，旗杆位于旗杆的中央旗杆上。伴随着主办国国歌的响起，主办国国旗在左边旗杆上冉冉升起。最后，对下一届奥运会主办国的国旗在左边旗杆的菌株其国歌升起。
主办城市市长走上讲坛把奥运旗帜交还给奥委会主席。奥委会主席将奥运旗帜交给下一届奥运主办城市市长。旗帜将会悬挂在下一届主办城市的市政大楼里。
由奥组委主席讲话后，国际奥委会主席给奥运会闭幕演讲中，他以这句话结束：
“我宣布奥林匹克运动会闭幕了，按照传统，我号召世界青年四年后在…………和我们一起庆祝奥林匹克运动会”。
那声音的号角;奥运圣火熄灭，而奥林匹克会歌正在奏响，奥林匹克会旗徐徐降下的旗杆，打出水平，开展了舞台，其次是旗手。告别曲响起。
