Vancouver, British Columbia (CNN) -- With a wink of its eye, Canada brought to close the Winter Olympics by making fun of one the glitches that plagued the first week of the games. As the closing ceremonies began, a mime with a tool belt came out to the caldron, where one of the legs was still in the floor of BC Place, having failed to rise during the opening ceremonies 17 days ago. The mime found the power cords weren't connected, but when he plugged it in, sparks flew from the power supply. The mime found a rope and pretended to pull the fourth leg up into place as the crowd roared its approval.
