The Paris 2024 Summer Olympics ended on Sunday afternoon, after 16 days of competition in various sports.
The celebration began in the Tuileries Garden, where the French swimmer Léon Marchand, winner of four gold medals, removed the Olympic cauldron, one of the most visible symbols of the Games, to carry the flame in a lantern to the Stade stadium of France.
In the presence of French President Emmanuel Macron and German Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee, among a large number of enthusiastic fans, the delegations participating in the Paris 2024 Olympics entered to the floor of the Stade de France.
One of the most prominent contemporary singers, Zahou de Sagazan, launched the artistic program of the concert by singing a classical piece immortalized in the Tuileries Palace, “Under the Parisian Sky”.
The 24-year-old young artist added a vintage touch to the beginning of the ceremony, as the best French artists sang this anthem for the capital, including Edith Piaf, Yves Montagne and Mireille Mathieu.
The closing ceremonies began in front of an estimated 71,500 spectators to end an Olympic Games widely hailed as one of the most spectacular ever held.
After the delegations entered the stadium with their country’s flags, a musical performance began amid a joyful and enthusiastic atmosphere.
The ceremony included a theatrical performance called “Records,” which features a fictional presentation of a journey through time led by a “golden traveler.”
The journey begins from the origins of the Olympic Games through a sci-fi future in which the Olympic Games have disappeared and must be rediscovered.
During the trip, the traveler found symbols of peace and unity that support Olympic values.
Almost 270 artists and dancers performed dance and art performances, and the sports delegations that participated in the Olympic wedding continued to enter with almost 9,000 male and female athletes to the sound of French songs. English is the most famous.
The thrilling final show marked the start of the four-year countdown to the 2028 Los Angeles Games in California, United States.
The Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, presented the flag of the Olympic Committee to her partner Karen Bass in Los Angeles, which will host the 2028 Olympics.
The ceremony brought the curtain down on the final act of the often spectacular sporting competition against a backdrop of famous Paris landmarks from the Eiffel Tower to the Palace of Versailles to the Grand Palais.
