French police arrested a man who was seen climbing the Eiffel Tower just a few hours before the Paris Olympics closing ceremony was set to begin.

The Paris landmark was evacuated Sunday afternoon after the climber was spotted making his way past the Olympic rings adorning the tower about halfway up the 1,083-foot structure.

As a result, I got my non-surfing Olympic news through social media and the slew of viral memes that have come out of these Games.
