The end of the Torino 2006 Paralympic Winter Games was a grand finale, a hymn to life. For then days, they offered examples of courage, integrity and hope that touched the heart of the entire world. And now that its champions with a disability are heading home, they leave behind the tepid and crisp breeze of the spring. A fairy-tale on the spring, music, songs, dances. But also the parade of the athletes accompanied by the Torino 2006 volunteers and the hand-over from the mayor of Torino Sergio Chiamparino to the mayor of Vancouver, Sam Sullivan, of the Paralympic flag. Then, the 9 metre tall “sculpture of a little girl” and the extinguishing of the Cauldron. This is the goodbye given by Torino to the Paralympic Games from 19:00 until approximately 23:00. The baton is handed over to Vancouver 2010.
