After 11 competition days of fierce competition, the Paris Paralympic Games is about to come to an end. Like the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics, the closing ceremony of the Paris Paralympics will return to the stadium and will be held at the Stade de France on the evening of September 8, local time. What are the highlights and features of the closing ceremony? Let’s take a sneak peek together.

Track and field stadium transformed into party scene

CCTV reporter Li Jingjing: Now I came to the Stade de France in the Saint-Denis area in the northern suburbs of Paris. It is the largest stadium in France and can accommodate 80,000 spectators. All track and field competitions during the Paris Paralympics were held here. It not only witnessed the highlight moments of athletes from all over the world fighting bravely and competing for gold and silver, but also recorded the warm moments when they conveyed friendship and encouraged each other. On the afternoon of the 8th, after the last marathon and the award ceremony, the track and field venue will switch to a super party where athletes and spectators will celebrate together.

When I walked into the Stade de France, it was like being in a purple lavender field, very beautiful and romantic. Now, there is a wind band rehearsing in the middle of the venue. Let’s imagine that on the night of the closing ceremony, when the purple runway is transformed into a sparkling stage, with the blessing of sound, light and electricity in the night, what kind of visual feast will this place bring to the audience?

Electronic music connects history and the present

Previously, the artistic director of the closing ceremony revealed that the closing ceremony performance will be a concentrated display of electronic music , for the benefit of disabled and able-bodied people, players and audiences. Dance to the music. Electronic music emerged in the 1920s, just around the time the last Olympic Games were held in Paris.

I learned that there will be 24 groups of DJs, that is, pop music hosts, on the night. They combine different ages and genres, including the famous electronic music master Jean-Michel Jacques, who is familiar to Chinese audiences. Here, artists will perform together to create an electronic music party for everyone for about an hour.

Jiang Yuyan and Di Dongdong

served as the flag bearers for the Chinese delegation at the closing ceremony

Of course, there are also important ceremonial aspects in the closing ceremony, such as the admission of various sports delegations.

I learned that swimmer Jiang Yuyan and track and field athlete Di Dongdong will serve as the flag bearers of the Chinese sports delegation, and weightlifter Tan Yujiao will make a collective appearance as a newly elected member of the International Paralympic Committee Athletes Committee, together with other new members. Unlike the opening ceremony, which strictly follows the order of delegations, at the closing ceremony, you may see athletes from all over the world entering the stadium together.

Furthermore, how will the baton from the Paris Paralympics be passed to Los Angeles in 2028? How will the flame on the main cauldron be extinguished? All of this leaves everyone in suspense, so let us look forward to the closing ceremony of the Paris Paralympic Games together.
