PYEONGCHANG, South Korea — The closing ceremony of the Pyeongchang Olympics took place Sunday night in South Korea. Due to the time difference the festivities occurred live on Sunday morning across the United States.

BEST PICS: CLOSING CEREMONY SLIDESHOW

Athletes marched, the popular K-pop band EXO performed and Pyeongchang officials officially handed over responsibility for the Winter Games to Beijing, which will host them in 2022.

A high-level delegation of officials from North Korea attended. Also in attendance was Ivanka Trump, the daughter of U.S. President Donald Trump. She led the U.S. delegation.

One thing that did not happen was the Russian delegation marching under its own flag. Athletes marched under the Olympic flag and in neutral uniforms as continued punishment for doping in Sochi in 2014.
