France Bids Reluctant Farewell To Dazzling Paris Olympics 2024
France bid a reluctant farewell on Monday to an "enchanted" fortnight of Olympic sport as athletes headed home from Paris praising a dazzling edition of the Games that has breathed new life into the biggest show on earth. Hollywood star Tom Cruise delivered stardust at the closing ceremony on Sunday evening -- and a link with the next Games in Los Angeles -- by abseiling into the national stadium. The "Mission Impossible" star descended on a wire in front of 71,500 spectators, grabbed the Olympic flag and jumped onto a motorbike, to the delight of thousands of dancing athletes and awe-struck fans. The final act of the Paris Olympics brought relief that an event foreshadowed by worries about terror attacks, strikes or protests had passed off with barely a hitch.
What Neeraj Chopra Said On Being Replaced By PR Sreejesh As India's Closing Ceremony Flag Bearer
Indian men's hockey team goalkeeper PR Sreejesh joined Manu Bhaker as the nation's second flag bearer at the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics 2024. The decision, however, was a late one, with Neeraj Chopra earlier designated for the role.

Neeraj Chopra vs Arshad Nadeem - that is one javelin rivalry that will be closely followed in years to come.

Watch: Bhutanese Runner Finishes Marathon 1.5 Hours After Winner, Gets Loudest Cheer
Kinzang Lhamo, a marathon-runner from Bhutan, received the loudest cheers from the Paris crowd as she crossed the line in the women's marathon event at the Paris Olympics 2024.
