Another 3,200 people will leave the city today.And what was the Olympic Village till Sunday night had become Dofus KamasParalympic Village by yesterday morning, though it opens formally on Saturday.Another sports spectacle will unfold in the shape of the EVE ISKParalympics from Sept 6 to 17, but there is no denying the indescribable hollowness the end of the Olympics has left.
