Canada's Olympic team returned home to a hero's welcome after a record-setting performance at the Paris Summer Games, securing nine gold medals and 27 total, with standout athletes like swimmer Summer McIntosh and 14-year-old skateboarder Fay De Fazio Ebert. Meanwhile, Team Ireland celebrated their best Olympics ever with seven medals, including four golds. In a controversial decision, American gymnast Jordan Chiles lost her bronze medal due to a late appeal, reinstating Romania's Ana Barbosu. Snoop Dogg brought his unique flair to the Games, serving as a commentator and cultural ambassador, and even performed at the closing ceremony. The Paris Olympics also featured dramatic moments such as Sifan Hassan's impressive marathon victory and a groundbreaking opening ceremony on the Seine River. New Jersey athletes made notable contributions, with Sydney McLaughlin and Scottie Scheffler among the gold medalists.
