After 17 days, the Paris Olympics have officially come to a close.
The Olympics Closing Ceremony took place at Stade de France on Sunday, complete with an official handoff to Los Angeles for the 2028 Summer Games. The show was spectacular, featuring the parade of nations, a glimmering “Golden Voyager” artistic segment and a dance party starring French rock band Phoenix.
From there, the scene shifted forward, with Hollywood star Tom Cruise taking the baton on the handoff to the Los Angeles Games. Cruise performed stunts at Stade de France and via a prerecorded segment that shifted the scene to L.A., where the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Billie Eilish and Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre performed on Long Beach.
The scene then shifted back to Paris, where French singer-songwriter Yseult closed things out with a rendition of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way,” a fitting finish to a Games presented with great pride by the host city.
