París pasa los Juegos Olímpicos a Hollywood
Paris has officially handed over the Olympic flag to Los Angeles in a closing ceremony that featured prominent performances from international stars. The event at Stade de France included appearances from Snoop Dogg, Billie Eilish, and Tom Cruise, who dramatically descended from the roof. The ceremony marked a joyful end to the Paris Olympics, a significant contrast to the tightly guarded Tokyo Games due to the pandemic. The Canadian team, led by flag bearers and gold medalists Summer McIntosh and Ethan Katzburg, expressed their elation. "This feels like another medal, but even greater," commented the athletes, highlighting the unique atmosphere and shared experiences with other participants. The event showcased a reflection on past and future Olympic Games, with organizers expressing gratitude. "You made us happy. You made us feel alive. The world needed these emotions so much," they said, emphasizing the enduring feelings of hope, inspiration, and love the games provide. Musical acts from both countries added significant flair to the handover. French band Phoenix performed, and the Americans highlighted their culture with acts like the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Tom Cruise’s dramatic flag transport added to the excitement as Los Angeles begins preparing for its upcoming role as the next Olympic host city in 2028.
