    The Olympics are over, and they went out with a bang.

    The Closing Ceremony ended with a hand-off from Paris to Los Angeles, where the 2028 games will be held.

    First, the Olympic flag was handed to L.A. Mayor Karen Bass , who was accompanied by Simone Biles .  Then H.E.R. sang the national anthem and CRUSHED it.


    Then it was time for Tom Cruise’s big stunt.  He was lowered from the roof of the stadium by a cable and took the flag.


    He mounted it on the back of a motorcycle and rode it out of the stadium . . . through the streets of France and right into a cargo plane.


    Then came the pre-recorded part of the stunt:  Tom parachuted out of the plane to the Hollywood sign, which was modified to display the Olympic rings.


    Then some past Olympians did a relay with the flag . . . by bicycle, on foot, and on a skateboard . . . until it ended up at a beachside stage where the Red Hot Chili Peppers played Can’t Stop”.


    Then they cut to Billie Eilish, who performed “Birds of a Feather”.  She was followed by Snoop Dogg doing Drop It Like It’s Hot , then he finished with The Next Episode”, accompanied by Dr. Dre.


    The broadcast then shifted back to the Stade de France, where French singer Yseult sang My Way .

    Cue the fireworks, and that was a wrap.
