The International Paralympic Committee flag was handed over to the 2008 hosts, London. The games officially closed as the Paralympic flame was extinguished. But the flames in people's hearts will go on.

The journalist Han Bin said, "For the past 11 days, the Paralympians have worked their magic in sports and on the way we think. Their passion for life despite, and sometimes because of their disabilities, is an inspiration to all. The Bird's Nest has witnessed the power and resiliency of the human spirit. And if society gets behind all persons with disabilities, then everyone wins. "
