13. Opening, Closing and Victory Ceremonies 414 51 13.4.2 Closing Ceremonies —————————————– The empty ground and the jampacked stand. At 7 p.m. sharp on October 2, the Emille Bell resounded the stadium signalling the beginning of the Closing Ceremonies. "Friendship," the first performance of the Closing Ceremonies, was about to begin. A total of 807 performers, comprising 500 ribbon gymnasts from Sejong University and Haesong Girls Commercial High School, 300 farmers music band players from Kongju Agricultural High School and seven streamer dancers appeared on the ground and presented dances celebrating the priceless friendship forged during the past 16 days and appeasing the sorrow of parting. After the performance, they formed a line along the track to welcome the entry of athletes. At 7:06 p.m., athletes entered the stadium led by 150 flagbearers. The entry order was the same as the Opening Ceremonies. The athletes looked most casual and joyful in spite of the heated competitions during the past 16 days. Many athletes wore the native costumes of their countries. At 7:37 p.m. SLOOC President Park Seh-jik and IOC President Samaranch appeared at the podium. The national flag of Greece was hoisted to the national anthem of the country, and the national flag of Korea was hoisted in the center to the Korean national anthem, followed by the hoisting of the national flag of Spain, the next host of the Games, to the Spanish national anthem. At 7:41 p.m. the ground onto which darkness began to creep was lighted with blue, and silence was broken by the traditional Korean sound of pressing cloth with wooden sticks. From both the South and North Gates, 1,150 members of the Sonbong Dance Troupe rushed out and formed an S-shaped bridge spanning the southern and northern ends of the field. The bridge was Ojakkyo, or the "Magpie Bridge," symbolizing love. Then followed the dance symbolizing the meeting and parting on the bridge, which curved gracefully like the Milky Way. Performing the Fan and Para (Cymbal) Dances were 720 dancers and students from Sonbong Dance Troupe, Sookmyung Women's University and Sung-ui Women's Junior College. The fans and para, cymbals, a traditional percussion instrument, in the hands of the dancers and the ritual robes and peaked hats they wore all showed the traditional styles of costumes and accessories unique to Korea. Next was the "<strong>Part</strong>ing Ships." At 7:52 p.m., 550 performers from the Sonbong Dance Troupe, Ewha Womans University, Suwon University and Korea Judo College unfolded the scene of parting ships to the narrative Korean folk song, pansori, sung by Living Cultural Treasure Mme. Kim So-hee and eight other famous singers. The melancholy boat song was borrowed from a popular ancient tale about a filial daughter. One hundred and fifty farmers' flags, which were six meters high each, were transformed into boat sails and fluttered, while the blue cloth and shawls waved by the dancers produced the waves and the rowing movements. The result was a fantastic scene of parting. When the flagbearers and dancers exited through the South and North Gates and the streamer dancers and ribbon gymnasts who had formed a receiving line on the track followed suit, SLOOC President Park Seh-jik appeared at the rostrum and delivered the closing remarks. Closing remarks "Two weeks ago we gathered here in the Olympic Stadium to share the pleasure of meeting. Today we are gathered here again, but this time for the sad task of saying good-bye. Then, it was day. Now, it is night. Then, it was opening the door. Now, it is closing the door But remember, a door is always there awaiting another opening. "Because the door is there, there can be no such thing as a permanent parting. We have become one. The tears of winners and losers have flowed together and there has been no single winner. "We have celebrated an Olympics of harmony and progress with 160 nations participating — more than ever in Olympic history. Through a rich program of artistic events and scholastic meetings, we have shown the Olympics to be a festival of human culture as well as of sports. As lovers of peace we have conducted an Olympics that provided security for all, we hope we have planted the seeds of hope and prosperity for all developing countries of the world through our efforts here in Seoul. The following Paralympics in Seoul will be an Olympiad of love and compassion. The powerful forces of Human Culture, Unity, Harmony and Progress and Love and Compassion provide a future legacy for all who follow us. "Soon the flame of the torch of the 24th Olympic Games will be extinguished. The love and hope which has burned deep in our hearts will shine forth again when the torch is kindled in the cauldrons of Barcelona just four years from now. Those who continue to have hope will gather there with a new joy and memories of pride, delight and reward we shared under the skies of Seoul. "I would like to express my deep gratitude to all the Games operation personnel, the Korean people and the entire Olympic family from around the world. "Good-bye everyone; see you in Barcelona! "See you again!" Park Seh-jik President of the Seoul Olympic Organizing Committee After Park's speech, IOC President Samaranch made the closing declaration as follows: "In the name of the International Olympic Committee, I offer to Mr. Roh Tae Woo, President of Korea, and to the Korean people, to the authorities of the city of Seoul and to the Organizing Committee of the Games, our deepest gratitude. I thank the competitors, officials, spectators, the media and all those who have contributed to the success of these Games. I declare the Games of the XXIVth Olympiad closed and in accordance with tradition, I call upon the youth of all countries to assemble four years from now at Barcelona, there to celebrate with us the Games of the XXVth Olympiad." Joan Antonio Samaranch, President of the International Olympic Committee After Samaranch's declaration, Seoul Mayor Kim Yong-nae returned the
