On Sunday night, the Stade de France hosted the Closing Ceremony of the Olympic Games Paris 2024. The event, titled Records, was directed by Thomas Jolly, the same visionary behind the remarkable Opening Ceremony on the Seine. Over 70,000 spectators filled the stadium to witness a spectacular show featuring 270 artists and performers, bringing 16 days of thrilling medal action and 329 events to a memorable close.
Just like in the Opening Ceremony, when Zinedine Zidane passed the Olympic torch to Rafael Nadal, the Closing Ceremony also featured the Spanish superstar in a video titled The Emotions of Paris Olympics. Even though Rafa didn’t win a medal, these Olympics will definitely stay in our hearts for a long time. Au revoir and merci, Paris!

It was lovely to see Rafa with Zizou again, they really are highlights of opening ceremony, and Rafa’s farewall to Paris after losing to Djokovic is also something that deserves to be in the final video.
