Simone Biles concluded her participation in the 2024 Paris Olympics by carrying the Olympic flag during the closing ceremony. The event, held at the Stade de France, also featured a performance of the American national anthem by musician H.E.R. Biles was joined by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on stage as the ceremony marked the transition from Paris to Los Angeles for the next Summer Games in 2028【6†source】【7†source】.
Biles, who secured three gold medals and one silver during the Paris Games, handed the flag to actor Tom Cruise, who then made a dramatic exit on a motorcycle. This transition sequence included a pre-recorded video of Cruise riding through Paris landmarks and eventually skydiving to symbolize the journey to Los Angeles【6†source】.
The closing ceremony also highlighted various performances, including a replica of “The Winged Victory of Samothrace” and a celebration of the winners of the women’s marathon【7†source】. The event drew over 71,000 spectators and involved 270 artists and performers, making it a spectacular conclusion to the Paris Olympic.
