So long, Seine. Hello gridlock!
The 2024 Olympics are coming to an end this evening, with one last Parisian hurrah and a Hollywood hello as Paris hands the torch over to Los Angeles, which will host the 2028 Games. The handoff is a final chance for Paris to celebrate what have been widely credited as a terrific Olympics, with standout performances from several athletes, including Simone Biles and Katie Ledecky, and a chance for L.A. to give the world a taste of what to expect in four years.
