The 2010 Winter Olympics are winding down, but the biggest party is yet to come. The Closing Ceremony is set to be the climax of the Winter Games, as Canada celebrates the achievements of the world’s most talented athletes.
Although officials and participants keep a tight lid on the details of the show, we do know that it will include some of Canada’s biggest entertainers. Closing Ceremony executive producer, David Atkins, wouldn’t name names, but did say, “It’s going to be a very contrasting night to the opening ceremony… a celebration of Canadian humor, talent, and innovation.” Atkins also produced the 2000 Closing Ceremony in Sydney, Australia, which featured an array of well-known entertainers.
Among the big names being thrown around are Michael Buble, Neil Young, Avril Lavigne, and Shania Twain. So many great performers under one roof should make for quite the bash.
No announcement has been made yet as to who the Canadian flag bearer will be. There are no shortage of celebrated athletes to consider. Many are speculating, and the most popular predictions are Joannie Rochette, Clara Hughes, or Alexander Bilodeau.
The ceremony will conclude with Vancouver mayor, Gregor Robertson, passing the flag to officials from Sochi, Russia, the 2014 Winter Games host nation.
