After the customary lighting of the Olympic torch, an amazing fireworks show brightened the night sky with the event reaching its conclusion. "A spectacular collection of fireworks went off just many minutes and then one person commented to me, 'I think that's why we had a lousy fireworks display in my hometown. They sent all the fireworks to Sochi.' They just went on and on and on lighting up the Black Sea skyscape here, really spectacular." On the security front Friday, International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach said it is unfair to single Sochi Games as facing a particular threat. "You can maybe not imagine how many threats that there were on Games, on each of the Games before. We had threats on Sydney. We had threats on Athens. Maybe you remember the situation in Salt Lake City. There were many, so you cannot single out this Games in this way." Russian security forces are on high alert following threats by Islamic extremists to carry out attacks and disrupt the Games. Analysts have warned of possible attacks against soft targets such as train stations and other areas where civilians congregate.
