Rio Olympic 2016 Closing ceremony Olympic flag to Tokyo (and Super Mario) The closing ceremony of the 2016 Summer Olympics was held on 21 August 2016 from 20:00 to 22:50 BRT at the Maracanã Stadium, Rio de Janeiro. How about this: Although the U.S. was ridiculous in winning 121 medals, it was only the third most ever for a single Olympics for the Red, White and Blue. Also pretty cool: If you only counted the medal count from USA women athletes, they'd tie for second most at these Games. The state of Maryland alone would've been good for sixth! Brazil, to its credit, did a great job performing as host. The country earned the most medals it ever has (19) and most golds (7) in a single Olympiad. Closing Ceremonies Opening Ceremony is to Summer Olympics as Closing Ceremony is to Winter Olympics. But that's OK. The Sunday-night send-off was fine enough. The party is always about the Opening Ceremony, though. Hey, at least Japan stepped up, gave us some Mario references, and then even had the Japanese Prime Minister pop up from a warp pipe. VERY COOL.
