Beijing Winter Olympics End With Parade of National Flags, Burst of Fireworks

Athletes competed for medals while the threat of war loomed in some of their homelands. The breakout star was not a Usain Bolt-like figure whose athletic feats transcended borders, but rather a U.S.-born Chinese skier, Eileen Gu, whose virtuosity on the slopes was accompanied by questions about allegiance and privilege.
