Paris. Algerian boxing champion Imane Khelif will be among the flag bearers taking part in the closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games on Sunday, which will be held at the Stade de France.
Khelif faced criticism and false claims about her gender, and went on to win gold in the women’s welterweight division.
Other gold medallists doing the honours include American swimmer Katie Ledecky and French rugby star Antoine Dupont.
There is anticipation about what director Thomas Jolly will create to close the Paris 2024 Olympic Games at the Stade de France, after the grandiose and unprecedented outdoor opening ceremony on the River Seine.
Athletes entering a boat parade and celebrating inclusion made headlines around the world.
The closing ceremony includes a parade of athletes and the handover of the Olympic flag to the organizers of the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles.
Organizers said the ceremony will feature more than 100 artists, acrobats, dancers and circus performers on a huge stage.
