The Olympic Games may have concluded, but the essence of sportsmanship and camaraderie endures. We welcome you to continue visiting Olympics.com, where the magic of the games persists, even in the absence of the Olympic flame.

During the closing ceremony, a poignant moment transpired as Antoine Dupont, the French Closing Ceremony Flagbearer and gold medallist with the men’s rugby sevens team, passed the French national flag to the French Paralympic team. This touching gesture serves as a reminder that although the Olympic chapter in Paris has drawn to a close, the Paralympic Games are poised to bring a fresh wave of excitement and inspiration.

The symbolic transfer of the Olympic Flame by Léon Marchand, followed by the official closing declaration by President Thomas Bach, signified the formal conclusion of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The ceremony was further distinguished by a surprise appearance from Hollywood icon Tom Cruise, who facilitated the transport of the Olympic Flag from Paris to Los Angeles.

The evening was made even more unforgettable with a magnificent rendition of the U.S. national anthem by the remarkably talented H.E.R. and the ceremonial lowering of the Olympic Flag, which was then conveyed to Los Angeles, the host city of the upcoming 2028 Olympic Games.
