S. Korea adds two silver medals on final day of 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics
Nicholl's comments come after critics claim the £28m investment in winter sport is too great, while sports such as basketball do not receive any financial assistance from UK Sport. The group also hacked routers in South Korea and deployed malware on the day of the opening ceremony, Western intelligence agencies said, according to the Post.
This year's Winter Olympics set out with worldwide tension as North and South Korea entered the Opening Ceremony together under a unified Korean flag, showing unprecedented cooperation.
"After Sochi, we made a pretty important strategic change in terms of investing deeper into the athlete pathway, so not just for the upcoming set of Games, but into subsequent Games", Merklinger explained.
"This celebration of peace that began at PyeongChang will continue on to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Summer Games and the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games", said Moon.
"The Paralympic Games, held immediately after the Olympics using the same facilities, will be staged from March 9 to 18".
"You inspire all of us to reach beyond what is possible to what is incredible", said Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport Daiene Vernile.
It also takes money to send athletes to the Olympics.
Other gilded American stars of the closing ceremony included the USA women's hockey team, who took gold in a stunning shootout over Team Canada on February 22.
The Olympic closing in South Korea's Pyeongchang ended with the Olympic flame going out.

Pre-Register for Harry Potter Game 'Hogwarts Mystery'
Are you excited for Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery? Google Play pre-registration for Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is now open. The game takes place during the 1980's when Bill Weasley and Nymphadora Tonks were at Hogwarts, before Harry was born.
"Thanks to our leadership for helping and allowing our team to play at the Olympics.
Athletes, you are true champions", said Lee Hee-beom, the Pyeongchang Olympics organizing committee president. A number of Russian athletes were caught doping despite the ban, and the International Olympic Committee voted unanimously on Sunday to uphold the prohibition on official Russian colours or flags during the closing ceremonies.
Skiers Mikaela Shiffrin and Lindsey Vonn brought the drama to the slopes in the 23rd Winter Olympic games with Shiffrin earning gold in the Giant Slalom and silver in the Combined event while Vonn was able to take bronze in the downhill event to likely close her Olympic career.
Over 3,000 athletes from 92 countries had competed for 102 gold medals, helped by some 20,000 volunteers.
After a record 29 medals - 11 gold, eight silver and 10 bronze - in Pyeongchang, the Canadian team at the next Games in Beijing has a high bar to clear. The snowboarder had already won the title in 2006 and 2010, but he finished fourth at the 2014 Sochi Games in Russian Federation.
Kenworthy even started to joke on social media about their friendship.
One growth area in Pyeongchang was in the late-night time period.
The crowd let out a huge roar when the athletes, many waving flags and dancing with each other, entered the stadium to a live band playing Korean music.
Though authorities in charge of the Games refused to confirm Russia's direct participation, they did acknowledge that a cyberattack hit the Opening Ceremonies.
