    European Newsdesk Posted on

    Hollywood actor Tom Cruise  is reported to be ‘closing Paris Olympics with epic stunt as he passes flag to Los Angeles’ by the Mirror.

    Paris is wrapping up two and a half remarkable weeks of Olympic sports and emotion with a lively, star-studded closing ceremony at France’s national stadium, passing the torch to Los Angeles, the host of the 2028 Summer Games.

    Rumors circulated that Hollywood star Tom Cruise, spotted in Paris during the final weekend, might make an appearance at the closing ceremony. Unlike the rain-soaked opening ceremony on July 26, the 2024 Paris Games concluded under sunny skies.

    As French President Emmanuel Macron and International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach settled into their seats, the ceremony kicked off with a powerful rendition of “Under the Skies of Paris,” a song famously performed by Edith Piaf and others.

    The crowd erupted in cheers as French swimmer Léon Marchand, donning a suit and tie instead of his gold medal-winning swim trunks, appeared on the stadium’s giant screens, carrying the Olympic flame from the Tuileries Gardens in Paris. The Olympic cauldron, powered by electricity rather than fossil fuels, had illuminated the French capital throughout the Games, delighting crowds as it ascended into the sky each night on a balloon.

    For Los Angeles, matching Paris’s spectacular Games might seem like a daunting task. The French capital seamlessly integrated its iconic cityscape into the Games, using landmarks like the Eiffel Tower as both stunning backdrops and unique venues for competitions, making this Olympiad particularly memorable.
