Olympic viewers have just worked out incredible meaning behind closing ceremony stage design

Olympics closing ceremony viewers think they’ve figured out what the stage design actually is

Viewers of the Olympic closing ceremony think that they’ve worked out the meaning of the stage design at the Stade de France.

The Paris Olympics are coming to a close, with the country waving farewell to its visiting athletes and fans.

However, some viewers were left a bit confused over the stage design, confusing several people as nobody knew what they were looking at.

There were suggestions of a cat or slices of pie, but viewers finally realised what it was.

On X, one user asked: “Is this stage designed loosely like a world map?”

A second said: “Took me a good 15 minutes to work out that stage is the world map.”

Another realised: “‘OH! It’s a map!’ the entire living room says at the same time after debating if it was a horse, chess pieces, a Star Trek Diorama or slices of pie competing in the fencing.”

A fourth shared: “Just realised that the central stage is the world map, not a geometric cat.”

More to follow.
