Paris Olympics 2024: The world is eagerly awaiting the much-anticipated closing ceremony. Scheduled to take place at the iconic Stade de France, this event will not only mark the culmination of weeks of thrilling competition but also signal the countdown to the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles.
In an exciting development, Team India has announced that veteran hockey goalkeeper PR Sreejesh and acclaimed shooter Manu Bhaker will have the honour of carrying the Indian flag during the Paris Olympics 2024 Closing Ceremony. Sreejesh played a pivotal role in India's campaign, making crucial saves against Australia during the group stage and in the penalty shootout against Great Britain in the quarterfinals. His outstanding performance continued in the bronze medal match, where his sensational saves secured India's victory. Alongside him, Manu Bhaker, who earned two bronze medals in Paris, will share the flag-bearing duties.
The closing ceremony promises to be a star-studded affair. Grammy-winning artist H.E.R. will perform live, including a rendition of the US national anthem as part of the handover ceremony for the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Games. Adding to the spectacle, Hollywood icon Tom Cruise is set to make a special appearance. Currently filming «Mission: Impossible 8» in Europe, Cruise is expected to perform a thrilling stunt during the ceremony. A clip of the actor skydiving toward the Hollywood sign will be shown, adding an electrifying element to the transition to the next Olympics.
