The Rio 2016 Olympics has finally reached its concluding stages as the closing ceremony is set to get underway on August 21, Sunday, in Rio. But Indian viewers will have to wait till Monday morning to witness the final moments of this year’s Olympics.

The closing ceremony will be held at the famous Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro. The stadium also held the Opening ceremony of the Rio Games. With a seating capacity of at least 80,000, the ceremony saw more than 6,000 volunteers take part in the show. After all the chaos, funding problems, and protests surrounding the Rio Games, Brazil managed to pull off an extravagant show on the opening day.

The closing ceremony promises to be no different.

The Rio organisers have kept the details of the closing ceremony a closely guarded secret. While fans expect that Rio would match up to London’s Closing ceremony where spice girls were part of show, the celebrity list to attend this year’s ceremony has been kept under the wraps.

Brazil’s football legend Pele, who didn’t participate in the opening ceremony, is expected to appear at the closing ceremony. Pele’s spokesman Pepito Fornos said: “He is walking with a cane. The problem is that if he sits in a chair you need a winch to get him out of it.

“His doctor thought it best that he continues physiotherapy, that he rests and we hope that he will be able to appear at the closing ceremony.”
