The 2024 Paris Olympics have officially come to a close, leaving behind a trail of unforgettable moments and remarkable achievements.

French swimmer Léon Marchand had the honor of extinguishing the Olympic flame, marking the end of an extraordinary two weeks.

"It's been an incredible journey, and I'm humbled to have been a part of it," said Marchand. "The Olympics are a symbol of unity and excellence, and I'm proud to have represented France on this global stage."

As the flame was extinguished, the attention turned to the next host city, Los Angeles, which will welcome the world's top athletes in 2028.

"We can't wait to welcome the world to Los Angeles and continue the Olympic legacy," said Casey Wasserman, LA28 Chairman. "We'll build on the success of Paris and create an unforgettable experience for athletes and fans alike."

The Paris Olympics will be remembered for its thrilling competitions, record-breaking performances, and heartwarming moments of sportsmanship.

"Thank you to all the athletes for their incredible performances and unforgettable moments," said IOC President Thomas Bach. "You have inspired us all with your dedication, perseverance, and passion for your craft."

As the Olympic family bids farewell to Paris, the excitement builds for the next chapter in Los Angeles.
