When the sporting competitions and emotional award ceremonies are over, everyone will head to the Brandenburg Gate to celebrate. After the athletes' disco last Wednesday, the dance floor will be rocked again at the Closing Ceremony.
Starting with an official part with, among other things, the ceremonial extinguishing of the Special Olympics flame, there will be a lot of music and certainly a polonaise or two on the program before we have to say goodbye to everyone with a big fireworks display.
But do not be sad: We see you again next year at the Special Olympics World Games Berlin 2023, the world's largest inclusive sports event!
