After two action-packed weeks, filled with gold medals, bulges, bad breakdancing (and even one revoked bronze medal for Team USA), the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics officially comes to a close on Sunday afternoon. The Olympics Closing Ceremony will be held in Paris’s 800,000-seat Stade de France on Sunday, Aug. 11. The two-hour event will stream live on Peacock.
Titled “Records” and hosted indoors on the 2,800 square meter stage of the Stade de France, the closing ceremony promises “new interpretations” and will “take spectators on a journey through time, both past and future,” organizers stated. The show will chart milestones throughout the history of the Olympic Games, which is believed to date back to Ancient Greece.
