The 2014 Sochi Games came to an extravagant conclusion with a Closing Ceremony. As the ceremony neared its end, the Sochi mascots – who have become a staple of the games all the way back to their introduction at the Opening Ceremony – entered the center of the stadium. The Sochi bear approached the Olympic flame and somewhat surprisingly, it was the bear that “blew out” the Olympic flame, signifying the end of the Games.
