The Olympic flame has been extinguished, bringing down the curtain on the Beijing 2022 Winter Games, but the passion still lingers from the sports gala that has enlivened and inspired the world amid the pandemic.

随着奥林匹克圣火缓缓熄灭，北京2022年冬奥会落下帷幕，但这场在疫情中为世界注入活力、鼓舞人心的体育盛会带来的激情永续。

After all 109 medal events were decided, the closing ceremony was held on Sunday at the National Stadium in Beijing.

2月20日，北京冬奥会全部比赛结束，总共109个小项的冠军各有归属，当晚，北京冬奥会闭幕式在国家体育场举行。

Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee, lauded the Beijing Winter Olympics as "truly exceptional" when addressing the closing ceremony Sunday night.

国际奥委会主席托马斯•巴赫发表致辞，称赞这是一届"真正无与伦比的"冬奥会。

"The Olympic spirit could only shine so brightly, because the Chinese people set the stage in such an excellent way - and in a safe way," Bach said.

"The Olympic Villages were outstanding.

The venues - magnificent.

The organization -extraordinary.

This unforgettable experience was only possible because of our gracious hosts, the Chinese people," he added.

巴赫说："奥林匹克精神之所以闪耀，因为中国人民搭建了一个出色而安全的奥运舞台。

冬奥村独具匠心，场馆令人叹为观止，组织工作非凡卓越。

我们之所以有北京冬奥会的难忘经历，要归功于热情好客的东道主全体中国人民。
