Paris closed its Olympiad on Sunday night with a stunt-filled ceremony that illustrated the importance of protecting the spirit of the Games.
"Humanity is beautiful when it comes together," said theater and opera director Thomas Jolly of his stadium show about celebrating "respect and tolerance" in a fragile world.
He described the Games and the closing performance as "a unique opportunity to share, reconcile and repair."

yes, but it needs to be like pushing daisies was. lots of super vibrant colors and wholesome hobbies.
The opening ceremony, which featured Celine Dion singing Piaf from the Eiffel Tower, was overwhelmingly adored in France (one poll showed 86% of French people consider it a success).
However, some of the organizers' creative team, including the director Jolly, were under special protection because of online death threats that followed it.

Immediately. Too many attractive people, I would run into a wall.
That's partly because Paris had sought to reinvent the Games, aiming to breathe new life into the world’s biggest sporting event and attract a younger audience.
With the motto "Games Wide Open," the City of Light brought sport out of the stadium and into the streets. It was aimed at drawing a line under the last Games in Tokyo, which were held largely without spectators during the Covid pandemic.

Guys, I hate to have to do this, but it's a fly guard. Keeps flies and biting insects out of the horse's ears (where the skin is very thin).
In the end, however, things went smoothly. Appearing on the Paris stage with the US gold-medallist gymnast Simone Biles, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was the first black female mayor to receive the Olympic flag.
She had acknowledged before the closing ceremony that the French capital had set a high bar but reassured her city was a worthy successor.

Finally, I have something in common with an olympic athlete!
About thirty minutes after the closing ceremony ended, the Olympic rings were lowered, marking the final moments of the Games. Confetti still covered the floor, while the once-crowded stands became completely empty.
The stadium stood silent, disturbed only by the clings and clangs of stage workers dismantling the set.

what a great response. way to keep on brand with the sesame street message despite no really being affiliated and being a positive, encouraging influence. that's genuinely so sweet. this is the style of response elmo was looking for when he asked how we were all doing....
After Los Angeles hosts the 2028 Games, Brisbane, Australia, will take the stage in 2032, bringing the Olympics back Down Under.
As for 2036, the host city remains undecided, with contenders like Ahmedabad in India, Berlin — potentially marking 100 years since the 1936 Games — and even Santiago in Chile considering playing their part.

In all seriousness, can someone explain why they do that? And did they have bikes with ICE engines before E-motorbikes became a thing?

Ever such a long time ago when I wasn't even an aunt, we all wanted to be Olga Korbut. We realised that the kerbstone was the same width as the bar, and three seconds and a large bruise later, my olympic dreams were laid to rest.

Some things I loved: Paris inviting America's most prominent pot smoker. Snoop watching skateboarding with that unidentified person (love you, Tony Hawke). Flavor Flav being the f****n' hero the women's water polo team needed. New Zealand women's rugby team doing the Haka. Everything about Nedroscik; especially him squinting at the pommel horse half blind.
