The Paris Olympics have come to an end. And, for the fourth consecutive time, the US have taken the top of the table.
Over 70,000 spectators attended the Sunday closing ceremony at the Stade de France, in Paris, as well as more than 8,000 athletes from 206 delegations and 270 artists.
The dazzling event featured international stars like Phoenix, Air, Angele and Alaine Roche, who performed on a suspended piano.
Tom Cruise wrapped the event with a spectacular descent from the stadium's roof, Mission Impossible-style, before carrying the Olympic flag in a symbolic handover to Los Angeles 2028.
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Billie Eilish, and Snoop Dogg also performed from a beach in LA in a transcontinental live event that lasted more than three hours and ended just past midnight CET.
Here are some of the best pictures from the event.
