The Paris 2024 Olympic Games came to an end as the competitions concluded and the women’s marathon was the last podium that was awarded in the “city of light”, before the cauldron went out.

The closing ceremony was held from the Saint-Denis Stadium facilities to say goodbye to Paris 2024 and, with it, give way to Los Angeles 2028. Unlike the inauguration that took place on the Seine River and in the streets of Paris, the closing event was in the stadium where the athletics events were held.

There were 16 days of competitions, where the athletes starred in triumphs, records, emotional gestures and more. Just as the athletes were the stars of these two weeks of competition, today they also played a role in the closing of Paris 2024. However, the controversy was not away.

A ‘Satanic’ ritual?

It should be noted that unlike the inauguration, at the closing the participating delegations leave without alphabetical order, so they appear randomly. But this was not the controversy that sparked comments all over the place.

Many people took to social mdi to speak on a supposed diabolic ritual after the alleged use of demonic imagery in the closing ceremony. The Olympic committee has not spoken anything on the matter, but the lights and figures made people talk.

Tom Cruise took his turn to take the flag and, in true Mission Impossible style, take it to Los Angeles where he was received by the California band, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, the singer Billy Ellish and the rappers Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, who in Paris was another spectator at several competitions.
