The closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games is just around the corner and the last medals will soon be awarded, capping a grand finale that will culminate more than two weeks of global excitement.

There was no shortage of headlines and memorable moments during this major sporting event.

US gymnast Simone Biles made a triumphant return, taking her Olympic gold medal tally to seven. French swimmer Léon Marchand won five medals – four of them gold – and drew comparisons with Michael Phelps. Armand “Mondo” Duplantis won another gold medal, but the real show for the 80,000 at the Stade de France – where the closing ceremony will take place on Sunday – was when he broke the world record for the ninth time.

There was controversy too. Algerian boxer Imane Khelif was in the spotlight because of misconceptions about her gender, athletes criticized the quality of some medals, a comment about gymnastics stunned the world, a last-minute scoring change raised questions for some athletes, and more.
