Tom Cruise Delivers Olympic Flag to LA, Closing Paris Games

In a dazzling blend of Hollywood glitz and Olympic tradition, Tom Cruise rappelled from the roof of the Stade de France to deliver the Olympic flag to Los Angeles, the next host of the Summer Games.

The daring stunt, accompanied by Grammy-winning artist H.E.R.’s rendition of the Mission Impossible soundtrack, left spectators in awe as Cruise descended 50 meters, bringing a cinematic conclusion to the Paris 2024 Olympics.

The Paris Games, which skillfully integrated iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Palace of Versailles into the event, won over athletes and fans alike. The successful execution of the Games revitalized the Olympic spirit, which had been dampened by the challenges of Rio 2016 and the subdued Tokyo 2020 due to the pandemic.

Paris 2024 chief Tony Estanguet expressed the sentiment perfectly, saying, "From one day to the next, Paris became a party and France found itself." The Games not only celebrated athletic achievement but also reignited national pride, transforming France from "a country of grumblers" into "a country of frenzied fans."

As Paris handed over the Olympic torch, Los Angeles wasted no time showcasing its star power, signaling the entertainment-filled spectacle to come in 2028. The blend of Parisian elegance and Hollywood dazzle ensured that the 2024 Games would be remembered as a high point in Olympic history.
