News Mania Desk/Agnibeena Ghosh/11th August 2024
As the Paris 2024 Olympics draw to a close, anticipation builds for the grand Closing Ceremony scheduled for August 12. Taking place at the iconic Stade de France, this final celebration will commence at 12:30 AM IST, marking a dramatic and festive end to nearly three weeks of thrilling sports action. Unlike the Opening Ceremony’s picturesque River Seine celebration, the Closing Ceremony will be held within the renowned Stade de France, accommodating 80,000 attendees who will come together to honor the athletes and celebrate the host city’s successful Olympic Games.
Indian sporting icons PR Sreejesh and Manu Bhaker have been selected as India’s flag-bearers for this memorable event. Sreejesh, celebrated for his stellar hockey career, concluded his journey with a bronze medal. His performance in the bronze medal match against Spain, which saw India secure a 2-1 victory, and his crucial role in the quarter-final shootout against Great Britain, were pivotal to India’s success. Manu Bhaker also made history by winning two bronze medals in the 2024 Games, one in the 10m air pistol event and another in the mixed team event alongside Sarabjot Singh.
The Closing Ceremony will feature the ceremonial extinguishing of the Olympic Flame and the formal handover of the Olympic Flag to the Los Angeles 2028 Organizing Committee. This transition marks the beginning of preparations for the next Summer Games, set to be held in Los Angeles.
French theatre director Thomas Jolly is at the helm of the artistic direction for this event. The ceremony, themed ‘Records,’ is expected to blend French and American cultural elements, promising an evening of aerial performances, dazzling light displays, and celebrity appearances. Although specific details of the performances remain under wraps, the event is set to deliver a visually stunning and emotionally resonant finale to the Paris 2024 Olympics.
For viewers in India, the Closing Ceremony will be broadcast live on the Sports 18 network, including both Sports18 1 SD and Sports18 1 HD TV channels. Additionally, those looking to stream the event online can do so for free via the JioCinema app and website, which will provide live coverage of the ceremony.
As fans across the globe prepare for this spectacular conclusion to the Paris 2024 Olympics, the ceremony promises to be a fitting end to a remarkable celebration of athletic prowess and international unity. Whether tuning in on TV or streaming online, viewers are in for a memorable experience as Paris bids farewell to the Olympic Games and looks ahead to the excitement of Los Angeles 2028.
