Paris Paralympics Close With A Party After 'Historic Summer'
The Paralympics closed on Sunday with a giant music-fuelled party as chief Paris 2024 organiser Tony Estanguet said the Games and the Olympics had created a "historic summer". The Paralympic flame and cauldron were extinguished before a concert featuring the best of French electronic music capped off proceedings at a packed Stade de France. More than 4,400 athletes from 168 Paralympic delegations partied despite persistent rain. Estanguet said the closing ceremony marked the end of six weeks of Olympic and Paralympic fervour in the City of Light.
