Paris Olympics come to close
Stars of sport, screen and music came together at the Paris 2024 closing ceremony to bring the 33rd Olympic Games to an end on Sunday, BBC Sport reported.
Actor Tom Cruise descended from the roof of Stade de France to collect the Olympic flag as part of the handover to the American city of Los Angeles, which will host the next Games in 2028, before departing on a motorcycle.
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre then performed on Venice Beach as part of a star-studded music set to conclude the ceremony.
Earlier, inside the stadium in Paris, gold medallists Alex Yee and Bryony Page were Great Britain's flagbearers at the ceremony.
Yee won the men's triathlon in dramatic fashion, while Page won Britain's first ever Olympic trampoline gold.
In his closing speech, International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach reflected on a "sensational" Games.
The 2024 Paralympics will be held in the French capital from 28 August to 8 September.
