Sources from Rio de Janeiro have added that Rio 2016 organizers are dropping the curtain on the Summer Games, Sunday after hosting the world's elite athletes who have competed for 306 medals over the past 19 days here in Rio de Janeiro.
It is stated that the closing ceremony has started at 8 p.m. local time, which is one hour ahead of Eastern Time, because of NBC's time delay and it's airing at 8p.m and ET and progressively later have come across the U.S.
Sources have also stated that the effect was very pretty, but the crowd which was loved what came in the show's second half and on one segment, cartoon characters such as Mario ran around and then, inexplicably and yet wondrously, shot a drill bit through the Earth and out the other side.
Meanwhile the impact of the Olympics on the city's future is tied to its impact on Brazil whose economy was bustling when Rio has won the right to host these games eight years ago but which was continually forced to rebalance its budget for the Olympics and Paralympics.
