The Paris 2024 Games came to a close like they started, in the rain, but amidst a festive atmosphere with an electro-party at the Stade de France to conclude the Paralympics on Sunday (September 8).
Some 24 French DJs played in the final part of the event, while earlier, the 169 delegations paraded to the tunes of French classics which got the spectators singing along.
Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo handed the Paralympic flag to International Paralympic Committee president Andrew Parsons, who then presented it to the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass – the first Black woman mayor to receive the Paralympic flag during the closing ceremony.
