From figure skating to snowboarding and curling, many competitions are slated to take place over the eight remaining days in Beijing.Here's what you need to know about the remaining days of the Winter Games, from final events to details on the closing ceremony.
Nations and athletes will convene on Sunday, Feb. 20 for the 2022 Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony - the official end of the two-week global competition.
Traditionally, the ceremony includes a parade of flags representing all participating nations, starting with the founding country of Greece and ending with the host nation.
Medals from the last event of the Games are typically presented to the winners during the Closing Ceremony.
Remaining Olympians march in a parade of athletes, but unlike the Opening Ceremony, there is no order as the athletes walk en masse.
The closing ceremony will begin at 6 a.m. and will be broadcast live on NBC and streamed on Peacock and NBCOlympics.com. The ceremony will also re-air at 7 p.m. later that night.
The Olympic flag is lowered and the flag of the next host country (Italy) is raised alongside the flag of the current host (China). As part of the customary ceremonial flag handover, the Olympic flag will be passed to the mayors of the Italian cities of Milan and Cortina-D’Ampezzo, hosts of the 2026 Olympic Winter Games.
The Games are then declared closed during a speech by the International Olympic Committee President, Thomas Bach. That declaration is made official with the extinguishing of the Olympic flame.
