Fireworks over the Bird’s Nest during the Closing Ceremonies
The Big Picture followed up their excellent shots of the Opening Ceremonies with a set of wrap up pictures from the Olympics. Here are a few of my favorites:
The star of the Games, Usain Bolt, dusting the field in the 200m.
Lolo Jones after her heartbreaking loss in the 100m hurdles.
Australia’s Matthew Mitcham still can’t believe he won gold with a flawless final dive in the 10m platform.
