Chapters

The closing ceremony marked the end of the Paris 2024 Olympics, featuring a handover to LA 2028. Tom Cruise's stunt, where he flew from the stadium roof and delivered the flag via motorcycle, skateboard, and finally to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, was a memorable moment. Other performers included Billie Eilish and Snoop Dogg, while the ceremony showcased an LA beach vibe.
  • Tom Cruise's involvement was strategic due to his global recognition and stunt abilities.
  • The LA 2028 segment embraced a stereotypical beachy aesthetic.
  • The musical performances aimed to represent diverse genres and generations.
  • Miley Cyrus's national anthem performance was deemed adequate but not outstanding.
  • LA 2028's multiple logos sparked criticism and confusion.
