Special Olympics World Games 2011, Greece: closing ceremony

What a wonderful event - the 2011 Special Olympics World Games came to a spectacular close in Athens this morning (Sydney time) after a final 'super Sunday' of competition - 129 photos are already up on the Special Olympics Australia Flickr Photostream which has kept us so well supplied with fabulous images throughout the Games.

Here is Nick Lorenz at the closing ceremony with some mates, in a news wrap of the Games: Athletes celebrate as Special Olympics draw to close

Congratulations to all at Special Olympics Australia and all 130 Australian team members on their participation and the many medals they won - we can see that you have had the time of your lives.

All the news, results, video highlights from every day of the event, and anything else you might want to know about Australia's experience of the Games is available through the Special Olympics Australia World Games website.

We know the Australian athletes aren't even home yet, but where are the next Special Olympics World Games?
