PAris was beaming as the Summer Olympics concluded 19 days of competition (26 July to 11 August) with a night of musical performances at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis to a crowd of 71,500 spectators.
The closing ceremony began with around 9,000 athletes representing 206 delegations parading into the stadium, with Greece leading the way. Living up to the nickname “City of Lights”, luminous bracelets were distributed to spectators in Paris and more than 1,000 projectors were incorporated into the events.
The American delegation’s flag bearers included gold medalist Nick Mead, rowing’s first flag bearer, and Katie Ledecky, whose 14 swimming medals make her the most decorated American athlete in Olympic history.
The US led the medal count at the Paris games with 126, followed by China with 91, Great Britain with 65 and France with 64.
Closing ceremony performers included Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The next Summer Olympics will take place in Los Angeles in 2028.
