American broadcaster NBC has revealed the TV figures for the Closing Ceremony of the Sochi Winter Olympics were down from the 2006 and 2010 events.

The tape-delayed nearly 2-hour extravaganza drew a 9.5/14  in overnight metered-market rating for the network. That’s down 33% from the 14.2/21 result of the Closing Ceremony of Vancouver 2010. It’s also a dip of 4% from the 9.9/14 metered-market result of the Torino 2006 Closing Ceremony.

Last night’s MM rating is the third worst result the Sochi Games have had for NBC with only the 9.4/16 of February 21 and the 8.6/15 of February 22 falling lower.
