[ASFN Admin]

The 2026 Winter Olympics come to an end on Sunday afternoon, wrapping up after 17 days full of drama, intrigue and athletic achievement. The United States have racked up 32 total medals, and their 11 gold medals set a new Team USA record for a Winter Games (with one more remaining depending on the outcome of the men's hockey gold medal match).

The Closing Ceremony has the theme of "Beauty in Action," celebrating Italian art, culture and heritage, along with the relationship between the mountains and cities that has been celebrated throughout the Games.

So, who is performing at the Closing Ceremonies?

There are four acts that you'll see Sunday, all with ties to Italy:

• Ballet dancer Roberto Bolle
• Singer-songwriter Achille Lauro
• Actress Benedetta Porcaroli
• DJ Gabry Ponte

The Closing Ceremony will feature the parade of flags, final medals will be handed out, the Olympic cauldron will be extinguished and the torch will be passed to the 2030 hosts (the French Alps). Hockey player Hilary Knight and figure skater Evan Bates will hold the flags for Team USA. Things kick off at 2:30 p.m. ET and will be available on NBC and streaming on Peacock.
