The torch goes out

It was a nice closing ceremony.  I think South Korea did a wonderful job hosting these games in spite of the challenging weather.  And I'm already looking forward to the next games in Tokyo and the next winter games in Beijing.

The highlight of the closing ceremony was the guitar kid, Yang Tae Hwan.  He's got some stuff on YouTube, of course.  Here he is playing Sultans of Swing:

Awesome.  And remember Funtwo and his version of Pachelbel's Canon from several years ago?  It was one of the early "viral" videos of YouTube.  Well, Yang Tae Hwan can play it:

Anyway, that wraps up the games.  Thanks to all the athletes and the ceremonies' cast members, and congratulations to all the medalists.
