The ceremony sees a variety of different performances taking to the stage, but viewers at home were surprised when they noticed that one man was casually eating a pot of noodles while standing next to an orchestra, who were mid-performance.

The musical ensemble were hard at work during the show, which made it even more baffling, with one person writing on Twitter: "Shoutout to the guy just casually eating noodles during the orchestra performance."


People were pretty taken aback by the clip, with many finding it hilarious.

One person wrote on X: "This could be the highlight of the evening!"

While another said: "Great spot. The most entertaining bit of the #ClosingCeremony."

And a third added: "I was like, is he - nah, i must be seeing things. Rewound & oh yeah he is."

Elsewhere in the Closing Ceremony and people watching at home were left confused over the stage design.

Many confessed they were baffled over what they were looking at, while others questioned what it could be.

Some floated the idea that it could have been a 'geometric cat' while another person suggested a horse and even 'slices of pie'.

However, after staring at it for long enough, viewers finally worked out what they were looking at.

"Is this stage designed loosely like a world map?" One person asked.

While another said: "Took me a good 15 minutes to work out that stage is the world map."

And a third said: "'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."

And a fourth added: "Just realised that the central stage is the world map, not a geometric cat."

The next Olympic Games will be hosted in Los Angeles in 2028.
