PyeongChang 2018 comes to an end

Published Mon 26 Feb 2018

The Olympic Flame was extinguished at the PyeongChang Olympic Stadium on Sunday night, bringing the 2018 Winter Games to an end. 

As temperatures hovered around minus 4 degrees, an audience of 35,000 gathered to reflect on 17 action packed days and record-breaking performances by more than 3,000 athletes from 92 teams around the world. 

Silver Olympic medallist Jarryd Hughes was beaming with pride as he carried the Australian flag into the stadium during the Parade of Athletes.

"It was a surreal experience getting to carry the flag," he said.

"It was just a great cherry on top to a great Olympics and I think that South Korea have done an amazing job.

"It's a lot looser than the Opening Ceremony, so it's good just to end on this note ... it's definitely a great final ending to a four year cycle and it's been great but right now it's about time to start back on the next four years and Beijing 2022 here we come."
