After 16 days of sliding, skating, jumping and sweeping, the Pyeongchang Games have come to a close with one last party. The Winter Olympics concluded Sunday night with a bash at the Pyeongchang Olympic Stadium, a final hurrah for the venue before it’s demolished. The show included a rocking guitar solo, roller skating panda bears and performances from K-pop super group EXO and singer CL. DJ Martin Garrix from the Netherlands performed at the ceremony as well. Performers carried lights and danced throughout the ceremony. Athletes took photos with each other to celebrate. International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach, center, handed the Olympic flag to the mayor of Beijing, China, Chen Jining, during the closing ceremony. Performers dressed as pandas took the stage as Beijing was celebrated as the next host city for the 2022 Winter Olympics.
