Au revoir! Paris hands over to Los Angeles in spectacular Olympics closing ceremony.

The Paris Olympics have come to an end. And, for the fourth consecutive time, the US have taken the top of the table.

Over 70,000 spectators attended the Sunday closing ceremony at the Stade de France, in Paris, as well as more than 8,000 athletes from 206 delegations and 270 artists.

The dazzling event featured international stars like Phonenix, AIR, Angele, and Alaine Roche, who performed on a suspended piano.

Tom Cruise wrapped the event with a spectacular descent onto the ground in Mission Impossible style, before carrying the Olympic flag in a symbolic handover to Los Angeles 2028.

Here are the best pictures from the event.
