Paris Olympics 2024 ended graciously on August 11 with an amazing closing ceremony, that saw the Olympic flag being handed over to the next organizers of the Summer Games, Los Angeles. The entire fortnight of action in Paris' different venues, across a plethora of events, saw Team USA gaining the maximum number of medals, be it gold, bronze, or silver, and most of it came from track and field events, along with swimming.
The biggest attraction for Team USA right from the start of the Paris Olympics 2024 was Simone Biles, the gymnast whose grace, perfection and excellence spoke it all, as she spearheaded Team USA's gold medal haul. She was closely followed by Noah Lyles, who claimed victory in the men's 100m finals with complete dominance over the other opponents. Meanwhile, he was also the star sprinter in the other events like 200m as well as the relay.
Lyles was already being cited as the best sprinter for Team USA right after the US Track and Field trials, which was held shortly before the start of the Paris Olympics 2024. However, other sprinters like Rai Benjamin and Ryan Crouser also led from the front for Team USA and gave their best in different sprint events.
