At 20:30 local time on February 22nd, the 25th Winter Olympic Games came to an end at the Verona Arena in Italy. The closing ceremony, themed "Beauty of Action," aims to showcase the connection between sports, art, and humanity, echoing the harmonious coexistence of nature and cities, mountains and plains. The closing ceremony of this Winter Olympics is the first time in Olympic history that it has been held in a historical site listed on the World Heritage List. The center of the arena is set as the closing ceremony stage, with a unique design inspired by "water droplets", symbolizing the close connection from the Winter Olympics snow capped mountains to the Milan plain. The reusable stage design structure and the light and shadow show that replaces traditional fireworks all reflect the sustainable concept of green hosting of the Olympics. The deep underground passage of the arena hides surprises, with 350 volunteers from local art schools transforming from spectators to protagonists, passionately interpreting the true meaning of "the beauty of action". The artistic director of the closing ceremony, Alfredo Arcantino, expressed the original intention of his creation: "Beauty is something that needs to be cultivated every day. An ancient monument is only beautiful when it is' alive 'and constantly changing." Therefore, this monument that witnesses a thousand years of history shines with vitality on the closing night of the Winter Olympics. Unlike the opening ceremony which emphasizes visual expression, the closing ceremony highlights the cohesion of ritual and sportsmanship. Here, farewell is not the end, but the connection and inheritance. The closing ceremony kicked off with the "lamplighter" stepping onto the central stage and lighting candles. The wonderful chapters from the classic operas "Madame Butterfly," "The jester," and "Aida" are presented to the world. At the athlete entrance stage, the flag bearer of the Chinese delegation, Su Yiming, raised the five-star red flag and entered the venue. In the men's slopestyle event of snowboarding, Su Yiming won the first gold medal for the Chinese delegation at this Winter Olympics. In addition, he also won a bronze medal in the men's platform jumping, which was the first medal won by the Chinese sports delegation at this Winter Olympics. After the entry of ice and snow athletes from various countries, the closing ceremony entered a cultural performance segment, with the theme of praising the athletes' fighting spirit presented one by one.

For this Winter Olympics, International Olympic Committee President Coventry stated, "The fate of humanity is interconnected, and true strength comes from how we treat each other." She referred to this unifying force of the world as the "Miracle of the Five Rings. The ultimate charm of the Olympics lies in the name of sports, which brings people from all over the world together for love, solidarity, and inspires everyone to become a better version of themselves. At the Olympic flag handover ceremony, Coventry handed over the five ring flag to the next representative of the French Alps Winter Olympics. The Winter Olympics torch standing at Milan's Gate of Peace and Cortina di Bona Square slowly extinguished. From now on, the Winter Olympics will enter French Alpine time. The next Winter Olympics will be held from February 1st to 17th, 2030, making it the fourth time the Winter Olympics have been held in France after Charmaine in 1924, Grenoble in 1968, and Albertville in 1992.
