Paris Bids a Glorious Farewell to the 2024 Olympics

The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris concluded with a spectacular closing ceremony that left spectators in awe. The night was a celebration of both the games and the city that hosted them. Indie rock band Phoenix and R&B sensation H.E.R. delivered electrifying performances that had the crowd on their feet.

A highlight of the evening was a dramatic entrance by Tom Cruise, symbolizing the handover to the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. In true Hollywood fashion, Cruise rappelled into the stadium, accepted the Olympic flag, and made a swift exit on a motorcycle, embodying the spirit of the next host city.

The ceremony then shifted to a live broadcast from Los Angeles, setting the stage for the 2028 Games. The Red Hot Chili Peppers kicked off the celebration at Venice Beach with their hit song “Can’t Stop.” The energy continued to build with performances by Billie Eilish, followed by Snoop Dogg, who was joined by Dr. Dre for a rendition of “The Next Episode.”

As Paris said its final goodbye, the world looked ahead with anticipation to the excitement that Los Angeles will bring in 2028.
