Lithuanian ice dancers Allison Reed and Saulius Ambrulevičius closed the Olympic Games with a dynamic performance set to the rock classics of Guns N' Roses, specifically 'Welcome to the Jungle' and 'Paradise City'. Their performance was not only a musical tribute but also a visual celebration, as they prominently displayed the flags of Lithuania and Italy, which resonated with the local audience, resulting in enthusiastic ovations from the crowd. This performance featured many prominent athletes, including medalists from various events, enhancing the celebratory atmosphere of the closing ceremony.

Among the spectators were notable figures in the ice skating world, including Olympic champions Laurence Fournier-Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron of France, silver medal winners Madison Chock and Evan Bates from the USA, as well as bronzed pair Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier from Canada, and Italy's Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri. Despite their sixth-place finish at the Winter Olympics, Reed and Ambrulevičius's performance marked a significant achievement in Lithuania’s figure skating history, being the second-best placement for the country in Olympic figure skating.

The occasion is significant as it encapsulates Lithuania's growing stature in winter sports, particularly figure skating, where the performance of Reed and Ambrulevičius stands as a testament to their hard work and dedication. The article reflects on how only once before, in 2002, had a Lithuanian pair, Margaritai Drobiazko and Povilas Vanagas, achieved a better result, placing fifth in Salt Lake City, thus highlighting the historical context and competitiveness of Lithuanian athletes on the international stage.
