News summary

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass received the official Olympic flag at the closing ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, marking the beginning of a four-year countdown to the LA28 Games. The ceremony featured a star-studded lineup, including performances by Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre, alongside a dramatic flag handoff from International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach to Bass, who emphasized the historical significance of the event. Actor Tom Cruise added flair by parachuting into Hollywood while carrying the flag and handing it off to U.S. cyclist Kate Courtney. Upon her return to LAX on Monday, Bass will hold a news conference to showcase the flag, before attending the Paralympic Games in Paris in September. The LA28 Games are poised to highlight the city's unique venues, similar to Paris's use of its iconic landmarks. This transition of the Olympic flag symbolizes a new chapter as Los Angeles prepares for its hosting duties in 2028.
