Addressing the athletes, IOC President Kirsty Coventry said: “You were incredible – every single one of you. Brave. Fearless. Full of heart and passion. You left everything on the snow and ice. Two unforgettable weeks, living every moment to the fullest. You gave it your all – and shared it with all of us.”
“This is the true Olympic spirit: competing, embracing, supporting each other, no matter the outcome. You showed us what excellence, respect and friendship look like in a world that often forgets these values.”
“You showed us that the Olympic Games are a place for everyone. A place where sport unites us.”
