Tokyo 2020 Olympics - The Tokyo 2020 Olympics Opening Ceremony

The Paris Olympic Games, which have captivated audiences worldwide for over two weeks, are set to conclude with a grand Closing Ceremony tonight. The ceremony, to be held at the iconic Stade de France, will see the flags of all participating nations paraded once again, in a display of unity and sportsmanship.

One of the highlights of the Closing Ceremony will be the official handover of the Olympic flag to the Los Angeles 2028 Organising Committee, symbolizing the transition to the next host city. This ceremonial moment signifies the continuation of the Olympic spirit and tradition as it passes from one host to another.

Team USA, a powerhouse in the Olympic Games, will be represented by swimming sensation Katie Ledecky and rowing champion Nick Mead as they proudly carry their nation's flag. Meanwhile, the host nation, France, will have the honor of having rugby star Antoine Dupont and mountain-biker Pauline Ferrand-Prevot carry their flag, showcasing the diversity of French sporting talent.

The Closing Ceremony promises to be a fitting conclusion to an eventful and memorable Paris Olympic Games, celebrating the achievements of athletes from around the world and highlighting the spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie that defines the Olympic movement.
