0:01:18 > 0:01:26WINTER OLYMPICS THEME.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Good evening and welcome to the final Today at the Games.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Over the last 16 days, we've been in awe of the effort
0:01:41 > 0:01:45and amazed at the skill of the athletes who have competed
0:01:45 > 0:01:48in events as diverse as big air, biathlon, curling and ice hockey.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52From short track speed skating to 50k cross-country skiing,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55it's been a remarkable and record breaking Winter Olympics.
0:01:55 > 0:02:02Here's what we've got coming up for you over the next hour.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06The Garlic Girls have made curling the dish of the day in Korea.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Can Sunny, Steak, Pancake, Yoghurt and Chocho give the home
0:02:09 > 0:02:12crowd a taste of glory?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15We reflect on Britain's greatest ever Winter Olympics.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19And then it's party time.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23The athletes can let their hair down at the closing ceremony.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27And to share all that is...
0:02:27 > 0:02:31fresh from finishing fourth in the freestyle
0:02:31 > 0:02:37slopestyle, Woodsy.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39And skeleton champion, our Winter Olympic champion
0:02:39 > 0:02:40from 2010, Amy Williams.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Chemmy Alcott -
0:02:41 > 0:02:44four-time Winter Olympian and downhill whizz.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Yesterday, Eve's Muirhead's rink fell agonisingly short in the bronze
0:02:48 > 0:02:50medal curling match against Japan.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Today was the gold medal match.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53The new stars of the host nation,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55nicknamed the Garlic Girls, because they all come from the same
0:02:55 > 0:03:02region in South Korea, known for producing garlic.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06They were watched across the nation, every channel on curling.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Could they produce a huge upset by defeating Swedish team who find
0:03:10 > 0:03:11themselves in the final for the fourth consecutive Olympics.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13David McDaid was there.
0:03:13 > 0:03:21David McDaid was there.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26Never mind Lindsey Vonn, Shaun White, even Lizzy Yarnold. In South
0:03:26 > 0:03:36Korea, the only name on everybody's lips is the Garlic Girls.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54Those girls are from a small town nobody can pronounce, so they call
0:03:54 > 0:03:57it the Garlic Girls because apparently that is where garlic
0:03:57 > 0:04:05originated from.Because they are all Kims, they have food names. One
0:04:05 > 0:04:09is Pancake. They have American breakfast names are the coach can
0:04:09 > 0:04:20tell them apart.We are proud of our Garlic Girls.South Korea's first
0:04:20 > 0:04:26curling rink was only built in 2006 so it is a small sport here but
0:04:26 > 0:04:31millions in South Korea tuned in to watch them and today they aim to be
0:04:31 > 0:04:41their first Olympic champions. Garlic Girls, Team Kim, has been
0:04:41 > 0:04:42sensational.Taking on Sweden.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Garlic Girls, Team Kim, has been sensational.Taking on Sweden.
0:04:47 > 0:05:00She made Janet.Right now it is the Swedes in control and for the first
0:05:00 > 0:05:04time, the rink is subdued. COMMENTATOR: A huge opportunity for
0:05:04 > 0:05:11the Swedish skip. Yes, she has got it and Sweden know that was a huge
0:05:11 > 0:05:14shock.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22It is looking like a long way back for the home side.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26The Swedish team have been by far the best in this final. She gets the
0:05:26 > 0:05:35one. It is Sweden's gold medal. They are jumping for joy.Not to be today
0:05:35 > 0:05:39for the Garlic Girls, instead Sweden are Olympic champions but to come
0:05:39 > 0:05:44from eighth in the world and win a silver medal is a
0:05:44 > 0:05:44from eighth in the world and win a silver medal is a massive
0:05:44 > 0:05:50achievement for the South Koreans. STUDIO: Absolutely and it has been
0:05:50 > 0:05:54South Korea's most successful Winter Olympics. Finishing in seventh.
0:05:54 > 0:06:00Three more medals awarded on the final day of competition.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03It was an epic men's ice hockey gold medal match between Germany,
0:06:03 > 0:06:05playing in their first ever final, and the Olympic
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Athletes from Russia.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Germany were on course for the win until Nikita Gusev scored
0:06:09 > 0:06:10an equaliser with 56 seconds remaining to force
0:06:10 > 0:06:12the match into overtime.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17The Russians had set their hearts on a first gold medal in ice hockey
0:06:17 > 0:06:20since 1992, and 20-year-old Kirill Kaprizov made sure of it.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22A golden goal in every sense.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24The win gave the OAR their second gold
0:06:24 > 0:06:31of the Pyeongchang Games, and 17th medal overall.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33In the four-man bob, Germany cruised to victory
0:06:33 > 0:06:36with pilot Francesco Friedrich taking his second gold medal.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39That's three gold medals in three bobsleigh events for Germany,
0:06:39 > 0:06:44who failed to even get on the podium at all in Sochi.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47There was a tie for the silver medal between South Korea
0:06:47 > 0:06:48and the second German crew.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Plagued by problems with their runners and an unsettled
0:06:50 > 0:06:58preparation, the two British crews finished 17th and 18th.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04And what can you say about Norway's record-breaking Marit Bjorgen,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07who was so far ahead of the field in the 30km mass start cross country
0:07:07 > 0:07:09race that no one else could see her.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13The Iron Lady blazed home in front to equal the record of eight golds
0:07:13 > 0:07:18and take her all-time medal haul to 15.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21The 37-year-old mother won a medal in all five events she contested
0:07:21 > 0:07:23at this year's Games, the second time she's won five
0:07:23 > 0:07:24medals at one Games.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Competing in the final Olympic event of her 16-year career,
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Bjorgen finishes with eight golds, four silvers and three
0:07:29 > 0:07:33bronzes from five Games.
0:07:33 > 0:07:41Simply put, she is the greatest winter Olympian of all time.
0:07:43 > 0:07:50It seems appropriate it is Marit Bjorgen's gold that pushes them
0:07:50 > 0:07:51ahead of Germany and
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Bjorgen's gold that pushes them ahead of Germany and they top the
0:07:52 > 0:07:58table for the first time since 2002. A record 39 medals overall. Germany
0:07:58 > 0:08:04and second. Both equalling the record of gold medals Canada set in
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Vancouver. The Netherlands and Sweden had good games. South Korea
0:08:07 > 0:08:13in seven.
0:08:13 > 0:08:22And Great Britain in 19. We are there backs to the fearless five.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26-- And we are there thanks to our fearless five.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Dom Parsons kicked it all off with a bronze in the skeleton.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31The youngest member of the team, Izzy Atkin won bronze
0:08:31 > 0:08:32in ski slopestyle.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Then just a few hours later, a brilliant bronze for Laura Deas
0:08:35 > 0:08:37in the womens skeleton, before our crowning
0:08:37 > 0:08:39glory, as Lizzy Yarnold defended her Olympic title.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41And then Billy Morgan bagged a bronze in the big air.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Four of those five medals happened just within 36 hours.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Medals decided in the next couple of hours on a vital morning for great
0:08:47 > 0:08:52British sport. Dom Parsons next. The equation is simple, if his time goes
0:08:52 > 0:08:57green, he is in good shape.Is this the run that will get Great Britain
0:08:57 > 0:09:08their first Olympic medal of these Winter live pics?No!
0:09:08 > 0:09:13Winter live pics?No! Dom Parsons may be just about to agonisingly
0:09:13 > 0:09:18miss out. If Martins Dukurs makes a mistake, who knows, Dom Parsons
0:09:18 > 0:09:26might be back in the medal race. That was a mistake, a big mistake he
0:09:26 > 0:09:31has never made before. It is starting to drop off.He is in the
0:09:31 > 0:09:38red. Five hundredths between himself and Parsons. Dom Parsons,
0:09:38 > 0:09:50unbelievably, has his medal. For Great Britain!
0:09:50 > 0:09:57We hand over to the commentary duo. This is the biggest day for British
0:09:57 > 0:10:05athletes. Izzy Atkin, what her she got?The
0:10:05 > 0:10:18biggest run of her life starts now. Come on, Izzy Atkin. Final jump. Oh!
0:10:18 > 0:10:26Must try to remain impartial. It is a third-place! Ladies and gentlemen,
0:10:26 > 0:10:32Great Britain's Izzy Atkin takes the bronze medal.You are a history
0:10:32 > 0:10:35maker, that is amazing.It has definitely not settle them but I am
0:10:35 > 0:10:41really proud. Today it is all about the skeleton.
0:10:41 > 0:10:47A warm welcome to the Sliding Centre ahead of round three of the women's
0:10:47 > 0:10:57skeleton. Lizzy Yarnold two hundredths off the lead. Laura Deas
0:10:57 > 0:11:06stays in fourth place. Now we come to the potential medallists. Hold it
0:11:06 > 0:11:15together. Laura Deas next for Great Britain.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Britain. Lizzy Yarnold next. The Olympic champion. Can she make
0:11:19 > 0:11:25history and win it again? Look at the gap. This could be at least
0:11:25 > 0:11:30silver for Lizzy Yarnold.She goes to the front! That is a gold medal
0:11:30 > 0:11:41winning run, I am sure of it.Janine Flock to come. Time is dropping
0:11:41 > 0:11:47away. It looks like Lizzy Yarnold will win a gold medal again! Does
0:11:47 > 0:11:58Laura Deas have a medal in her? Laura Deas has won bronze as well. A
0:11:58 > 0:12:01great day for Britain at the Winter Olympics.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14# You have got to help me. # I am losing my mind.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18# Keep getting the feeling you want to leave this behind.Is it still
0:12:18 > 0:12:25real?
0:12:25 > 0:12:29As each minute passes it becomes more of a reality, which is relief
0:12:29 > 0:12:32that it did go to
0:12:32 > 0:12:32more of a reality, which is relief that it did go to plan. I could
0:12:32 > 0:12:37barely look at the screen, I was so nervous, I just had an eye on where
0:12:37 > 0:12:42the number would come in. When I have the medal in my hand, then it
0:12:42 > 0:12:51will be absolutely real.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56will be absolutely real.Really heavy.
0:12:56 > 0:13:10I just saw the number one. Fantastic.
0:13:10 > 0:13:20OK, one minute on
0:13:20 > 0:13:24OK, one minute on the VT. STUDIO: An amazing period. The
0:13:24 > 0:13:29medals started coming and you feel like Germany or Norway but
0:13:29 > 0:13:32fourth-place finishes as well, including you. Do you wish you were
0:13:32 > 0:13:40a medallists.Absolutely. Winning feels great, it was what I was there
0:13:40 > 0:13:48to do. I can only say I gave my all. It was blooming close.There was a
0:13:48 > 0:13:52feeling of momentum with three of the five medals coming from
0:13:52 > 0:13:56skeleton. Clearly skeleton are doing something right. How much does it
0:13:56 > 0:14:01help the team that you look around and think, you are on the podium?
0:14:01 > 0:14:06When you see someone else get a medal, Dom Parsons for the men, the
0:14:06 > 0:14:12feeling within the team of Team GB, suddenly it is not impossible, we
0:14:12 > 0:14:16can win medals and the culture in skeleton is nothing is impossible.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21We have won medals in every Olympics and new athletes coming in watch the
0:14:21 > 0:14:30current athletes, we have new talent, in Germany, now, sliding,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32watching these Olympics knowing Laura and Lizzy Yarnold came through
0:14:32 > 0:14:40the same programme and they think it can be them in four, eight years.In
0:14:40 > 0:14:45Alpine skiing, and snowboarding, the strength is getting greater.
0:14:45 > 0:14:51We're not the under docs, and also in the mountains, Scotland has
0:14:51 > 0:14:54mountains but we normally go abroad to ski on we normally think we don't
0:14:54 > 0:14:59have this or this. Skeleton don't have any tracks that they are to
0:14:59 > 0:15:02reckon with. It shows you what self belief and a programme can do. We
0:15:02 > 0:15:05have the talent, we just need to talent it in the right programme.
0:15:05 > 0:15:12Youngsters coming through as well, Izzy Atkin got a medal. How
0:15:12 > 0:15:16important do you think it is for people watching, Woodsy, that they
0:15:16 > 0:15:23see British success in free skiing? That is fantastic for me, obviously
0:15:23 > 0:15:27because free skiing is my thing, my passion. Snowboarding as well. It's
0:15:27 > 0:15:32good. I think it's something I wanted to touch on, there's been a
0:15:32 > 0:15:39really positive spin, not just now, but coming for a while, potentially
0:15:39 > 0:15:43since London. There seems to be a really positive spin where a while
0:15:43 > 0:15:48ago there wasn't a super positive spin back in the UK, now I feel like
0:15:48 > 0:15:56everyone is on board.It is cool. It's always been cool.Trying to be
0:15:56 > 0:16:00the best is cool. People have thought I can't go out with big
0:16:00 > 0:16:03dreams and big goals because it's cool but now you have people like
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Woodsy and Billy saying I want to win an Olympic medal, so it makes it
0:16:06 > 0:16:10OK to try and be professional and do everything you can.Absolutely. One
0:16:10 > 0:16:15of the biggest ambitions and stated intentions before these games was
0:16:15 > 0:16:18when Lizzy Yarnold said I want to be the first Briton to successfully
0:16:18 > 0:16:23defend an Olympic title. She did it and it meant she got the opportunity
0:16:23 > 0:16:31to belt out the national anthem.
0:16:37 > 0:16:45BRITISH NATIONAL ANTHEM
0:16:54 > 0:17:02BRITISH NATIONAL ANTHEM
0:17:06 > 0:17:11Lizzie won that gold medal, the heaviest ever produced by sliding on
0:17:11 > 0:17:15her stomach. From that to flying in the air, the last Team GB medal of
0:17:15 > 0:17:18the games came courtesy of the man chosen to carry the flag at the
0:17:18 > 0:17:22closing ceremony. Here is Billy.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23chosen to carry the flag at the closing ceremony. Here is Billy.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28Billy Morgan, I think, is going to go for the frontside 1440 treble
0:17:28 > 0:17:33Cork and if he lands a well within the medal scores.And he needs to go
0:17:33 > 0:17:37absolutely stratospheric.That is not something he struggles with,
0:17:37 > 0:17:45let's be honest.Come on Billy Morgan, frontside 1440.Billy
0:17:45 > 0:17:54Morgan, yes, yes!Eight treble 1440, that is massive, absolutely huge!Oh
0:17:54 > 0:18:01my goodness. , Billy Morgan moves into brands bronze medal position.
0:18:01 > 0:18:08The whole of the UK now needs to watch this jump.He's gone.I'm
0:18:08 > 0:18:14crying!I just never expected it, you know? If you come into the
0:18:14 > 0:18:17contest thinking on shooting for a medal, you are ready for it. Luck of
0:18:17 > 0:18:20the draw and it came down to me on the day so
0:18:20 > 0:18:21the draw and it came down to me on the day so happy days.The lovely
0:18:21 > 0:18:27thing about belief is I think he sort of takes the sport to a whole
0:18:27 > 0:18:32new audience.Absolutely. He is such a fun loving character. We have seen
0:18:32 > 0:18:37everything he gets up to and it is just great to see a dude like that
0:18:37 > 0:18:41in the limelight. He is well in the mix in the snowboarding side of
0:18:41 > 0:18:47things and a wicked personality, couldn't ask for much more!LAUGHTER
0:18:47 > 0:18:50And so athletic. It surpasses what he does in the snowboard. Take
0:18:50 > 0:18:58anywhere and he perform.Incredibly talented. I think it is Billy's
0:18:58 > 0:19:01personality that takes it to all these different places. He will
0:19:01 > 0:19:07throw himself into any situation and come out somehow looking real cool.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11I think I said yesterday would be his last Games, talking about his
0:19:11 > 0:19:15body being too battered to do it any more but you will say no, maybe not.
0:19:15 > 0:19:23I don't know.Shaun White? 32. Billy, 28.Who knows what's going on
0:19:23 > 0:19:27in individual people's minds. You said that yesterday and I thought, I
0:19:27 > 0:19:33don't know, who knows what he's going to do? I don't know.Some
0:19:33 > 0:19:35training videos, hindering backflips and a crazy amount of stuff
0:19:35 > 0:19:40anything, hang on a minute, you could probably compete in summer
0:19:40 > 0:19:45summer Olympics with those gymnastics, and his visual awareness
0:19:45 > 0:19:50and everything.We will talk about crossover from winter to summer
0:19:50 > 0:19:53summer to winter. I'm starting to think why isn't max Whitlock doing
0:19:53 > 0:19:55big air!
0:19:55 > 0:19:57We all know that sport isn't always kind.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59For all the glory of success and the joy of winning,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02there is the pain of failure and the heartache of knowing that
0:20:02 > 0:20:04another Olympics have passed by without a medal.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Just ask Elise Christie.
0:20:11 > 0:20:22# I hurt myself today # To see if I still feel.
0:20:22 > 0:20:29# I focus on the pain # The only thing that's real
0:20:29 > 0:20:39# And you could have it all # My Empire of dirt
0:20:39 > 0:20:51# If I could start again # 1 million miles away
0:20:51 > 0:21:07# I would keep myself # I would find a way #.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11It is the saddest image of the games, I think.The saddest image
0:21:11 > 0:21:14but one we need to understand as people on the outside, that not
0:21:14 > 0:21:17everyone comes away with the medals, the performance they hope for. She
0:21:17 > 0:21:22was pushing herself for a win and that is the consequence, especially
0:21:22 > 0:21:25in winter sports, you go out there and you go big, you crash, because
0:21:25 > 0:21:29of up and hopefully you do it again. And you have to be able to come back
0:21:29 > 0:21:33from it?You do. And it's great to see how positive she has been in her
0:21:33 > 0:21:38interviews. Her mind has already carried forward, you are always
0:21:38 > 0:21:41moving goalposts. One day you might be like, I can't cope. You wake up
0:21:41 > 0:21:44the next morning and you think, you know what, I have a strategy, I want
0:21:44 > 0:21:50to do it, I have a new plan. We're talking fine margins, millimetres
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Kimmich a difference between if she clipped someone else's skates or
0:21:53 > 0:22:01not. Those tiny, tiny margins across all sport could be 100th of a second
0:22:01 > 0:22:04or it could be clipping a corner on the bobsleigh run, it could be
0:22:04 > 0:22:07millimetres between touching someone else's skates. The heartache is real
0:22:07 > 0:22:11and you feel it but what a woman to be able to stand up and be like, you
0:22:11 > 0:22:14know what, I'm not done yet, I want to go and smash it, I still want to
0:22:14 > 0:22:19chase this gold medal.Is that on its way is inspirational, Woodsy.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Not just people watching who may not do sport but a fellow athlete?Yes,
0:22:23 > 0:22:29absolutely. I always think every single person is on their own path
0:22:29 > 0:22:33and they have their own things they are dealing with, whether it is
0:22:33 > 0:22:38injuries or stuff like this. You compete at so many different events
0:22:38 > 0:22:42and you kill it every single time and it comes round to the one you
0:22:42 > 0:22:45want to do well at and it just doesn't go your way. Everyone is at
0:22:45 > 0:22:49a different place in their life on in their career. So I think Dean
0:22:49 > 0:22:54must adapt and open to everyone else's going to help you deal with
0:22:54 > 0:22:57your own stuff as well.You have to be tough in the mind, you really
0:22:57 > 0:22:58have.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01The opening ceremony was a stunning display of technological mastery -
0:23:01 > 0:23:02the closing ceremony is traditionally more relaxed.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05A chance for all the athletes to party and celebrate
0:23:05 > 0:23:06what they have achieved.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11Billy Morgan was chosen to carry the flag for Team GB.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Let's see the best of the last hurrah of Pyeongchang 2018,
0:23:14 > 0:23:16with commentary from Matt Pinsent and John Hunt.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24So, the final shots have been fired, Stones curls, landings stomped and
0:23:24 > 0:23:30toes well and truly looped, seven days of intense competition waited
0:23:30 > 0:23:34the traditional celebrations as Pyeongchang says goodbye and Beijing
0:23:34 > 0:23:39is about to say hello in 2022. The count down much more live. You
0:23:39 > 0:23:44remember the somewhat austere ceremony countdown with the giant
0:23:44 > 0:23:50bell. You can see all the venues represented, as we and the crowd
0:23:50 > 0:23:57here, 35,000, countdown to one. Matthew Pinsent, we are expecting
0:23:57 > 0:24:01some fun tonight. I think it will be great, I'm looking forward to a bit
0:24:01 > 0:24:05of Gangnam Style, the crowd getting involved and the athletes as well,
0:24:05 > 0:24:10when they come in and say their farewell.The accent very much on
0:24:10 > 0:24:13winter turning to spring and hope for the future. Traditional themes,
0:24:13 > 0:24:17you will see plenty of them. A key component of tonight is used,
0:24:17 > 0:24:24without a shadow of a doubt we will see acts are plenty from youngsters
0:24:24 > 0:24:28tonight, very talented, some as young as 11. And here, with more
0:24:28 > 0:24:32than a nod to the painters and decorators everywhere around the
0:24:32 > 0:24:38world, we get our first visual. It is colourful and it sets the tone.
0:25:26 > 0:25:34Highly appropriate in Korea, skating very much at the first centrepiece
0:25:34 > 0:25:43of the closing ceremony.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50You can probably work out what's coming.
0:26:55 > 0:27:03CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Ladies and gentlemenplease welcome the athletes of the 23rd Olympic
0:27:23 > 0:27:30Games! A huge roar from the 35,000 people
0:27:30 > 0:27:43here tonight. The first of the athletes come into the arena.
0:28:02 > 0:28:08Huge Canadian representatives. What a Games they have had, Matthew.
0:28:08 > 0:28:14Tessa Virtue and Scott
0:28:16 > 0:28:20Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir the success story.I think that skating
0:28:20 > 0:28:25duo were a huge story back in Canada. An amazing gold medal, and I
0:28:25 > 0:28:29have to feel for them a little bit, because all they have been asked
0:28:29 > 0:28:37about since winning is, are you a couple? And they have had to say, no
0:28:37 > 0:28:42a thousand times. But it was an amazing performance.Absolutely
0:28:42 > 0:28:48fantastic. Canada won 11 gold medals and 29 all told. Third place for
0:28:48 > 0:28:55them over all on the medals table. Osman's bronze medal in the figure
0:28:55 > 0:29:01skating to surpass their previous record of 27 records. The five from
0:29:01 > 0:29:07Ireland go through.
0:29:08 > 0:29:16Marcel Hirscher, two golds. Again, a good games for him. He must have
0:29:16 > 0:29:21felt it wasn't going to happen.I know. He had a very average run in
0:29:21 > 0:29:26on the circuit coming here, but then history is littered with people who
0:29:26 > 0:29:34either won a gold with no track record, or had all the ingredients
0:29:34 > 0:29:36and come to an Olympics and don't quite do
0:29:41 > 0:29:46Norway have just entered the stage. The gaining number one 's spot. The
0:29:46 > 0:29:54Germans had a fantastic games. But, Norway top of the shop with 14 gold
0:29:54 > 0:30:00medals and 39 medals all told.And the amazing statistic, doorway in
0:30:00 > 0:30:111988. They won zero gold medals. The trajectory of them from zero to the
0:30:11 > 0:30:16current day and the performance in Pyeongchang is fantastic.The flags
0:30:16 > 0:30:23going through.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27going through. For Frimpong, one of the stars of the games. And the
0:30:27 > 0:30:33United States. Their chef de mission under fire about their lack of
0:30:33 > 0:30:38success but everything is relative. I mean, they have won 23 medals in
0:30:38 > 0:30:49total, nine double medals. -- nine gold medals. I think they are saying
0:30:49 > 0:30:57it is there worst return in two decades but they say they will go
0:30:57 > 0:31:01home and recoup. And that they liked the way Norway have performed.This
0:31:01 > 0:31:06is Great Britain.
0:31:07 > 0:31:14is Great Britain. I thought that was Laura Deas. Yes, there is Laura.
0:31:14 > 0:31:22Fantastic. One the Bobsleigh athletes behind Laura.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26athletes behind Laura. It is getting busy. Dom Parsons. Proudly wearing
0:31:26 > 0:31:32his medal, as he should.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35his medal, as he should.Most unaffected winner, I think, all
0:31:35 > 0:31:42fortnight, Dom Parsons. He seemed to take it in his stride.Nothing
0:31:42 > 0:31:56surprised him, certainly.Billy Morgan carrying the flag.
0:31:56 > 0:32:01Morgan carrying the flag. That is the Jamaicans. Much talk about...
0:32:01 > 0:32:09The women's bobsleigh. That is the Germans and the Dutch behind them, I
0:32:09 > 0:32:17think, with the orange jackets. The Dutch brought 34 athletes. More than
0:32:17 > 0:32:23half are going home with medals. Extraordinary.Ireen Wust, brilliant
0:32:23 > 0:32:29again. This is North and South Korea. Once again coming in
0:32:29 > 0:32:35together.
0:32:35 > 0:32:41together. And the white flag with the whole of the Korean peninsular
0:32:41 > 0:32:49on it, that has become a much waved emblem of the Olympics, especially
0:32:49 > 0:32:55around women's ice hockey, the one sport they competed as a team.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the President of the International
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Olympic Committee, accompanied by the Mayor of Pyeongchang. And the
0:33:27 > 0:33:36Mayor of Beijing. For the Olympic flag hand over.
0:33:54 > 0:34:01The countdown begins in earnest for Beijing 2022.
0:34:04 > 0:34:12Beijing 2022. The first city that will host both these summer and the
0:34:12 > 0:34:21Winter Games. If you remember Beijing 2008, the Bird's Nest
0:34:21 > 0:34:27stadium will be used in the Winter Games, we are told. The Water Cube,
0:34:27 > 0:34:34the swimming venue will be used for curling. And discussions ongoing
0:34:34 > 0:34:43about the Alpine events. The Mountain Cluster is 150 miles away.
0:34:43 > 0:34:50There is a high-speed rail link going in. As here, all the Alpine
0:34:50 > 0:34:55events will be on man-made snow. That is not a problem. One of the
0:34:55 > 0:34:59issues might be the height of the mountain 's Beijing has at its
0:34:59 > 0:35:08disposal.
0:35:08 > 0:35:14disposal.Ladies and gentlemen, the Beijing 2022 presentation.I am
0:35:14 > 0:35:19looking forward to Beijing's presentation.They do ceremonies
0:35:19 > 0:35:24very well. They have kept this very much under wraps. A fascinating few
0:35:24 > 0:35:31minutes ahead here.
0:35:31 > 0:35:40minutes ahead here. It took four seconds to see a panda.

0:39:51 > 0:39:52The Olympic Games are a homage to the past
0:39:52 > 0:39:54and an act of faith in the
0:39:54 > 0:39:55future.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58A true homage to the past was the respect of the Olympic Truce,
0:39:58 > 0:40:02just as it was 3,000 years ago in ancient Olympia.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06Dear athletes from the NOCs of the Republic of Korea
0:40:06 > 0:40:09and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12with your joint march,
0:40:12 > 0:40:20you have shared your faith in a peaceful future with all of us.
0:40:20 > 0:40:28You have shown how sport brings people together
0:40:29 > 0:40:30in our very fragile world.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34You have shown how sport builds bridges.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38The IOC will continue this Olympic dialogue,
0:40:38 > 0:40:45even after we extinguish the Olympic flame.
0:40:45 > 0:40:53In this, we are driven by our faith in the future.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56These Olympic Winter Games have introduced new events
0:40:56 > 0:41:01that appeal to new generations.
0:41:01 > 0:41:07Digital technology has enabled more people in more countries
0:41:07 > 0:41:11to see winter sports in more ways.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15We have brought together a record number
0:41:15 > 0:41:22of National Olympic Committees to participate in Olympic Winter Games.
0:41:22 > 0:41:28Therefore I can truly say
0:41:28 > 0:41:32the Olympic Winter Games Pyeongchang 2018

0:41:46 > 0:41:50We offer our hand to everybody
0:41:50 > 0:41:58to join forces in this faith in the future.
0:41:58 > 0:42:04Dear athletes, you are the best ambassadors of our optimism.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08Thank you for sharing it with us.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Thank you for your competitive spirit.
0:42:11 > 0:42:19Thank you for your fair play.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43To our gracious hosts, the people of Korea, I say thank you.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Athletes from the five continents of the world and future host

0:44:10 > 0:44:18Pyeongchang 2018 closed.
0:44:19 > 0:44:24In accordance with tradition, I call upon the youth of the world
0:44:24 > 0:44:31to assemble four years from now in Beijing, People's Republic
0:44:31 > 0:44:36of China, to celebrate with all of us the 24th
0:44:36 > 0:44:40Olympic Winter Games.
0:44:40 > 0:44:41Thank you and goodbye, Korea.
0:44:41 > 0:44:49CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:46:14 > 0:46:21And with that, the 23rd Winter Olympics are over.I have a look at
0:46:21 > 0:46:24this photo. Billy Morgan being the creative force
0:46:24 > 0:46:25this photo. Billy Morgan being the creative force he is decided there
0:46:25 > 0:46:29was a different way of carrying the flag in the closing ceremony, so he
0:46:29 > 0:46:33put it on his chin, which we love. Woodsy has left
0:46:33 > 0:46:33put it on his chin, which we love. Woodsy has left us
0:46:33 > 0:46:35put it on his chin, which we love. Woodsy has left us to be replaced by
0:46:35 > 0:46:38the new chair of UK Olympic sport, Katherine Grainger. Lovely to have
0:46:38 > 0:46:42you with us. Still getting over the shot of our favourite bare-chested
0:46:42 > 0:46:48Tongan.
0:46:48 > 0:46:52Tongan. Carrying on from the Summer Olympics to the Winter Olympics and
0:46:52 > 0:46:58he was so cool.He was so excited, he lifts the Olympics, the
0:46:58 > 0:47:01excitement, that happiness.I tell you what, he has some resistance to
0:47:01 > 0:47:07cold as well.He must be freezing, how he has got goose bumps!What
0:47:07 > 0:47:11does that mean, the sign they are trying to make?I thought it was
0:47:11 > 0:47:17peace but don't quote me on that! Let's say it is peace.Unity or
0:47:17 > 0:47:25something.Like the infinity sign. It is a bit, I will try and practice
0:47:25 > 0:47:29at. Your reflection on Team GB's performance at the Winter Olympics
0:47:29 > 0:47:35and the wider message?Team GB did a brilliant job, best ever Winter
0:47:35 > 0:47:38Olympics for the team, the most successful we have ever seen. Five
0:47:38 > 0:47:43medals. We said this before, with every outstanding and exciting
0:47:43 > 0:47:46performance there is always heartbreak for other people. There
0:47:46 > 0:47:50is always that mix, great and inspirational stuff. And all those
0:47:50 > 0:47:54performances that are hard to watch an hard to live. That, overall,
0:47:54 > 0:48:01brilliant performance. And then bigger picture. It has been
0:48:01 > 0:48:05a fantastic games as far as Korea was concerned, they put on a
0:48:05 > 0:48:09brilliant show. You never know what every host nation will do. They
0:48:09 > 0:48:13said, will it be the connection between North and South, will open
0:48:13 > 0:48:18up new communication points? None of us know at this point but we have to
0:48:18 > 0:48:24say was a very successful Games in Korea.It demonstrated we can change
0:48:24 > 0:48:28our thinking. One athlete that might change the philosophy of the way we
0:48:28 > 0:48:33approach sport is Ester Ledecka, winning medals on skis on a
0:48:33 > 0:48:36snowboard.And beat the first athlete to do that in a single games
0:48:36 > 0:48:42is amazing. They have different DNA. No 1's skis and snowboards. You can
0:48:42 > 0:48:46do them both recreationally and I do, but to do it at that level...
0:48:46 > 0:48:49Such a surprise. The cameraman had to tell her she had won gold. Her
0:48:49 > 0:48:59talent does surpass it. She stuck her ground and didn't want to
0:48:59 > 0:49:01specialise and said she could do them both. Not only can she do both
0:49:01 > 0:49:05those sports she said she could potentially go to Tokyo and do
0:49:05 > 0:49:10windsurfing. That is too much talent for one person to have, share it
0:49:10 > 0:49:13around it is.And the skateboarding element as well.Transferable
0:49:13 > 0:49:20skills.So by the end of the Olympic optician, Great Britain managed to
0:49:20 > 0:49:23win a record five medals.
0:49:23 > 0:49:25One more than Sochi four years ago.
0:49:25 > 0:49:28Prior to Sochi, you have to go back to 1924 when we
0:49:28 > 0:49:31also won four medals.
0:49:31 > 0:49:37also won four medals.
0:49:37 > 0:49:41It has been a turnaround in fortunes of winter sport but it does come at
0:49:41 > 0:49:45a cost. Millions of pounds of funding, a significant proportion
0:49:45 > 0:49:48coming from the national Lottery. Was it worth that question here is
0:49:48 > 0:49:53Patrick Gearey.
0:49:54 > 0:49:58This was the flip that did the trick.
0:49:58 > 0:50:00Billy Morgan, yes, that was massive!
0:50:00 > 0:50:02Billy Morgan's bronze was Britain's fifth medal of the Games.
0:50:02 > 0:50:05It meant they'd hit their target and broken a record.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08The most medals this country has ever managed at a Winter Olympics.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10It's come with hard work, but also lots of hard cash.
0:50:10 > 0:50:15The body which allocates elite sport funding, UK Sport,
0:50:15 > 0:50:18put more than £28 million into winter sports in the four years
0:50:18 > 0:50:26running up to these Games.
0:50:26 > 0:50:27That works out £5.6 million a medal.
0:50:27 > 0:50:29That is how medals matter.
0:50:29 > 0:50:31That's how they work out how they get the money.
0:50:31 > 0:50:36Lizzy Yarnold, guided from heptathlon to skeleton
0:50:36 > 0:50:37thanks to a UK Sport scheme.
0:50:37 > 0:50:39When she showed potential, they funded her.
0:50:39 > 0:50:40Gold followed in Sochi.
0:50:40 > 0:50:42Lizzy Yarnold is the Olympic champion, oh
0:50:42 > 0:50:46my goodness!
0:50:46 > 0:50:48They stepped up the skeleton funding to £6.5 million.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50That is a gold-medal winning run!
0:50:50 > 0:50:58We are looking at a two-time Olympic champion!
0:51:04 > 0:51:06It is a formula that has helped British sport rise
0:51:06 > 0:51:07from 36th in Atlanta to
0:51:07 > 0:51:10second in Rio, and has led to unprecedented success
0:51:10 > 0:51:12in this Winter Olympics but sport doesn't always do
0:51:12 > 0:51:13predictable outcomes.
0:51:13 > 0:51:16Short-track speed skating is the standout example.
0:51:16 > 0:51:23Elise Christie was a triple world champion, so her sport got more
0:51:23 > 0:51:24than £4.7 million to deliver a medal.
0:51:24 > 0:51:27But you can't bank on bad luck and slip-ups.
0:51:27 > 0:51:28Winter Games are uncertain terrain.
0:51:28 > 0:51:31Meanwhile, sports like ice hockey and Luge don't get any sports money
0:51:31 > 0:51:33because medals are thought to be out of reach.
0:51:33 > 0:51:38Should medals be our only guiding light?
0:51:38 > 0:51:40Some want more money allocated to recreational sports
0:51:40 > 0:51:43like basketball.
0:51:43 > 0:51:50The old-fashioned way was to fund yourself, which is
0:51:50 > 0:51:56what Mica Moore and Mica McNeill did after their funding was withdrawn.
0:51:56 > 0:51:58Nobody has been eighth at Olympic Games, but these two have
0:51:58 > 0:52:01claimed that position!
0:52:01 > 0:52:03What a Games for the pair who are only here
0:52:03 > 0:52:05because of the generosity of the British public.
0:52:05 > 0:52:07They used crowdfunding to help them get to
0:52:07 > 0:52:09Pyeongchang and finished eighth, better than their male counterparts
0:52:09 > 0:52:10who are funded.
0:52:10 > 0:52:12What could have they achieved with proper backing?
0:52:12 > 0:52:13Their performance made some statement and
0:52:13 > 0:52:20begged a question about how we fund our sports.
0:52:20 > 0:52:23Katherine Grainger is one of the people that can answer those
0:52:23 > 0:52:27questions. Amy, from an athlete was my point of view, how much pressure
0:52:27 > 0:52:32do you feel to perform on the behalf of the whole of your sport?You are
0:52:32 > 0:52:35very aware of it and yet we all know there is still no greater pressure
0:52:35 > 0:52:38than an athlete puts on themselves, because you know you have put in all
0:52:38 > 0:52:42those hours of trading. In Frank de Boer we knew our medal target was
0:52:42 > 0:52:46one medal from the games so we all knew as an athlete it was on our
0:52:46 > 0:52:50heads to bring home a medal in order to maintain and keep the funding, to
0:52:50 > 0:52:54be able to bring through the next generation. The gold medal in
0:52:54 > 0:53:00Vancouver enabled Liz at and Laura Deas to get their medal. It went
0:53:00 > 0:53:04into the programme. It is one of those things, it is Catch-22, if you
0:53:04 > 0:53:07don't have the money, you can't get the medals. If you don't have those
0:53:07 > 0:53:14medals, you don't get the money.And you don't keep the money. Those who
0:53:14 > 0:53:18have traditionally been successful are in danger of losing it if they
0:53:18 > 0:53:21don't win at the games.I have to clarify, I thought that as an
0:53:21 > 0:53:27athlete. In rowing I didn't know what the medal target was most of
0:53:27 > 0:53:30the time and I said I didn't care. You want to go out for yourself,
0:53:30 > 0:53:34your performance, that was always the focus. But until I started
0:53:34 > 0:53:38working in it. It is... The funding that goes into investment is in as a
0:53:38 > 0:53:43reward or punishment of the result. For example, Elise Christie, a
0:53:43 > 0:53:48question of what will happen now with short track. There was no medal
0:53:48 > 0:53:53in four years ago in Sochi but a lot of money went in it in the last four
0:53:53 > 0:53:56years. Investments get mate looking forward from this point, the
0:53:56 > 0:54:02potential of the athletes and the athletes in it. Not specifically the
0:54:02 > 0:54:06result, if we do or don't win and what it means for funding.What we
0:54:06 > 0:54:08don't do is reward financially biathlete themselves. Other
0:54:08 > 0:54:14countries do.Only three countries don't, us, Sweden and Norway. Every
0:54:14 > 0:54:18other country gives you a bonus that gold medal. It is interesting, but
0:54:18 > 0:54:22nations with the lowest GDP tend to award the most. Up there is
0:54:22 > 0:54:30Kazakhstan, they give 200 200,000. Then Italy. They give money for gold
0:54:30 > 0:54:34and silver but nothing for bronze, they don't rate a bronze medal at
0:54:34 > 0:54:36all-star point it is interesting, different ways.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38So as we say farewell to the Winter Olympics,
0:54:38 > 0:54:41the sport on the BBC in 2018 just keeps on coming.
0:54:44 > 0:54:51# The world is my stage, I have it made...
0:54:51 > 0:54:55This is a superb performance!
0:55:02 > 0:55:11What a champion here at Wimbledon! Wow, wow!
0:55:11 > 0:55:16This is it, the pinnacle!
0:55:16 > 0:55:21That is all to come but for the snow and ice, it is over.
0:55:21 > 0:55:24Thanks for your company over the last 16 days.
0:55:24 > 0:55:26Thanks to all the experts who have made it make sense,
0:55:26 > 0:55:30the commentators who have told the stories, the engineers
0:55:30 > 0:55:32and technicians and the production team in South Korea
0:55:32 > 0:55:35and here in the UK who have brought the stunning action
0:55:35 > 0:55:38into our homes and most of all to the athletes who have
0:55:38 > 0:55:39competed in Pyeongchang.
0:55:39 > 0:55:40Thank you for brightening our winter.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42Some of them have dreams still to be fulfilled,
0:55:42 > 0:55:43others have realised them.
0:55:43 > 0:55:50All of them have tried their hearts out.
0:56:15 > 0:56:22# There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
0:56:22 > 0:56:30# Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
0:56:31 > 0:56:34# If I can dream of a better land
0:56:34 > 0:56:39# Where all my brothers walked hand-in-hand
0:56:39 > 0:56:42# Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true
0:56:42 > 0:56:45# Oh why
0:56:45 > 0:56:50Goodness, it was perfect!
0:56:50 > 0:56:52# Oh why
0:56:52 > 0:56:57# There must be peace and understanding sometime
0:56:57 > 0:57:04# Strong winds of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear
0:57:04 > 0:57:11# If I can dream of a warmer sun
0:57:11 > 0:57:17# Where hope keeps shining on everyone
0:57:17 > 0:57:22# Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear
0:57:22 > 0:57:26Billy Morgan has got a bronze medal!
0:57:26 > 0:57:30I'm crying!
0:57:30 > 0:57:33# We are lost in a cloud
0:57:33 > 0:57:38# With too much rain
0:57:38 > 0:57:42# We are trapped in a world
0:57:42 > 0:57:46# That has got all the pain...
0:57:46 > 0:57:51Christie tumbles again!
0:57:51 > 0:57:53In the semifinal.
0:57:53 > 0:57:59# He can redeem his soul and fly
0:57:59 > 0:58:07Shaun White is the gold medallist!
0:58:11 > 0:58:18# Still I am sure that the answer has got to come somehow
0:58:18 > 0:58:25# Out there in the dark there's a beckoning candle
0:58:25 > 0:58:30# And while I can think, while I can talk
0:58:30 > 0:58:38# While I can stand, while I can walk
0:58:42 > 0:58:44Dom Parsons has his medal!
0:58:44 > 0:58:46# While I can dream, please let me dream
0:58:46 > 0:58:48# Come true, right now
0:58:48 > 0:58:55Laura Deas who dreams of medals has now got one at the Olympic Games!
0:58:55 > 0:58:57Ladies and gentlemen, Izzy Atkin takes bronze!
