The closing ceremony of the Olympic Games presented spectators with a heartwarming moment involving the Russian athletes. Skier Savely Korostelev made his way across the stadium, carrying his teammate, skier Daria Nepryaeva, on his shoulders.
Speaking of athletic performance, the Olympics did not turn out as ideally as Korostelev might have hoped. He was unable to secure any medals, finishing just shy of the podium—fifth place in the 50-kilometer race was his final standing. Nevertheless, despite not winning accolades, the athlete managed to make an impression on the fans through this genuine gesture toward his colleague.
As a reminder, the closing ceremony for the Olympic Games has commenced in Verona. The schedule includes the parade of athletes, the extinguishing of the Olympic flame, and the handover of the flag to the organizers of the 2030 Winter Olympics in the French Alps. For the first time in the history of the Winter Olympic Games, two Olympic cauldrons will be extinguished simultaneously in two locations: Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo. Following this, the Olympic flag will be lowered and officially transferred to the host nation for the 2030 Games.
