After giving an unforgettable experience, the Paris Olympics 2024 ended on Sunday, August 11! It ended with an amazing closing ceremony.
The Paris Olympics started on July 26, and 206 nations participated. The United States leads the medal count with 40 gold medals. In second place, China also has 40 gold medals but fewer silver and bronze medals than the U.S.A. Japan is in third place with 20 gold medals.
The Paris 2024 Olympics closing ceremony took a surprising turn, deviating from the expected and embracing the unexpected by featuring Long Beach, California, instead of the anticipated Venice. This unexpected twist added a new dimension to the event, held in the heart of Paris, and symbolized the cultural exchange and connection between France and the upcoming 2028 Los Angeles Games.
The ceremony was complete with stars like Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and Billie Eilish. They represented the musical heritage of Southern California, adding new color and vibe to the event.
The choice of Long Beach over Venice was an excellent move. It showed the diversity and dynamic spirit of Los Angeles ahead of its turn to host the Olympics in 2028. The visual spectacle featured iconic scenes from Long Beach, from its well-known beaches to its bustling urban life, contrasting the historic Parisian backdrop.
With the Paris Olympics 2024 closing on a high note, the anticipation for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics is palpable. It’s sure to be a great one!
