The Paris 2024 Olympics concluded with a strikingly dystopian closing ceremony at the Stade de France. The event featured a "Golden Voyager" from outer space and Tom Cruise abseiling into the stadium. The ceremony highlighted the transition to Los Angeles 2028, with Simone Biles and LA Mayor Karen Bass receiving the Olympic flag. Performances included Red Hot Chili Peppers, Billie Eilish, and Snoop Dogg. A tribute to Ancient Greece saw a floating piano and a dramatic portrayal of the Olympic rings. The ceremony ended with a rendition of "My Way" by Yseult.
