The Paris 2024 Olympic Games concluded with a spectacular closing ceremony featuring Tom Cruise, who made a dramatic entrance by rappelling from the roof of the Stade de France. Cruise, who handed over the Olympic flag to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, marked the transition to the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The ceremony included emotional performances, including a rendition of 'The Marseillaise', and celebrated French culture through music and dance. Meanwhile, the USA women's basketball team secured their tenth gold medal in a thrilling final against France, winning 67-66 after a last-second near-tying shot from the French team. The event was marked by a celebratory atmosphere, with fans applauding both teams' efforts. France's silver medal achievement highlights their continued presence on the Olympic podium after their bronze at Tokyo 2020.
