I glimpsed Tom Cruise at the women’s soccer final before his Top Gun-inspired acrobatics for the Los Angeles games during the closing ceremony. And there’s nothing like grabbing a croissant en route to a rowing or table tennis match.

The logistics for the whole event were masterful and well-executed. But I couldn’t help but notice one thing was missing: the promised air taxis chauffeuring attendees around Paris for the games.
