The 33rd Summer Olympics concluded with a spectacular closing ceremony at Stade de France on August 11, 2024. Indian athletes Manu Bhaker, a double medallist, and PR Sreejesh, a bronze-winning hockey goalie, carried the Indian flag with pride. The ceremony featured a journey from ancient to modern Olympics, with French swimmer Leon Marchand extinguishing the cauldron. IOC President Thomas Bach declared the games closed and handed over the Olympic flag to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, with a Hollywood twist as Tom Cruise dramatically transferred the flag to LA. The event was celebrated with performances from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Snoop Dogg, and Billie Eilish.
