Olympic Games wrap up with closing ceremony in Paris

The closing ceremony of the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad was held at Stade de France in Saint-Denis.

Organizers transformed the sports arena into a giant concert hall. Director Thomas Jolly said the ceremony was "an opportunity to reflect on the importance of the Olympic Games."

“It’s a very visual, very choreographic, very acrobatic show with an operatic dimension to give a great visual fresco and say goodbye to athletes from all over the world,” Jolly added.

 

The ceremony included the awards ceremony for the Women’s Marathon.

The closing ceremony for the Paris Olympics featured several international stars: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, and Angele.

The Olympic Games in Paris were held from 26 July to 11 August 2024.

Team Belarus won four awards at the Games: one gold, two silver and one bronze medals.

The next Summer Olympic Games will be held in Los Angeles in 2028.
