The Paris 2024 Olympics concluded with a star-studded closing ceremony, passing the torch to Los Angeles for the 2028 Games. Actor Tom Cruise performed a dramatic stunt by rappelling from the Stade de France roof and delivering the Olympic flag to LA. Performances from artists like Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers celebrated the transition. The United States tied China with 40 gold medals and led the overall medal count with 126. Katie Ledecky and Nick Mead served as flag bearers for Team USA. The closing ceremony also featured some mishaps, including a stadium announcer asking athletes to clear the stage during performances.
