Final Results & Spectacular Photos Of Sochi Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony

The closing ceremony for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia was the most expensive ever staged complete with a crying bear and lavish fireworks. Tonight we can say: Russia delivered all what it had promised," he said. "What took decades in other parts of the world was achieved here in Sochi in just seven years."
Addressing the army of volunteers who helped guide athletes, reporters and visitors to their destinations, he said: "Through you, everybody with an open mind could see the face of a new Russia: efficient and friendly, patriotic and open to the world. We arrived with great respect for the rich and varied history of Russia. We leave as friends of the Russian people."
After Bach formally declared the Sochi Games closed, three giant mascots of the Games - a bear, a snow leopard and a hare - appeared and the bear blew out the Olympic flame.
