新素材素材话题:米兰奥运会
[2026 原创] The Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games came to a close on 22 February with a spectacular ceremony held in the ancient Verona Arena, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It was the first time in Olympic history that a closing ceremony took place in such a historic landmark.
The ceremony, titled “Beauty in Action”, celebrated the connection between sport, art, and culture. The show opened with a creative tribute to Italian opera. Characters from famous operas like Madama Butterfly came to life on stage, entertaining both the athletes and the audience. A highlight was the performance by international ballet dancer Roberto Bolle, who did an aerial act celebrating water and sunlight.
During the athletes’ parade, Chinese snowboarder Su Yiming proudly carried the national flag. China sent 126 athletes to the Games and won 5 gold, 4 silver, and 6 bronze medals—its best-ever result at an overseas Winter Olympics.
About 1,500 athletes from around the world gathered inside the arena. To protect the ancient site and local animals, no fireworks were used. Instead, a beautiful light show lit up the night sky.
A key moment was the passing of the Olympic flag to France, the host of the 2030 Winter Games. Finally, the Olympic flames in Milan and Cortina were extinguished, bringing the 17-day sports festival to an end.
