As the Olympics end in London and the flag makes its way to Brazil - Up All Night gets reaction from around the world to the closing ceremony - as well as the Games themselves. We speak to an American who attended the closing ceremony, guage the view from Australia and we're live in the next host city Rio to hear conflicting opinions on just how interested the Brazilians are in 2016.
