Around 70,000 spectators gathered at the Stade de France to witness the closing of the 33rd Summer Olympic Games in Paris. The ceremony began in the Tuileries Gardens, where the Olympic flame had been placed during the Games. France's swimming sensation, Leon Marchand, took the flame from the Gardens with a lantern and made his way to the Stade de France, marking the start of the event.

Paris 2024: Dutch Athlete Sifan Hassan Breaks Two Records, Wins Olympic Marathon Gold

Dutch athlete Sifan Hassan managed to break two records by winning the Olympic gold medal in the marathon in Paris.

Sifan Hassan's quest for a trio of world titles went up in smoke on Aug. 19 as she fell within sight of the finish line to hand Ethiopian rival Gudaf Tsegay victory in the 10,000m.

What had been a generally sedate race at the National Athletics Center culminated in a sensational finish.

American Fred Kerley led a U.S. cleansweep as he stormed to victory in the men's 100m at the World Championships in Oregon on July 16.

Kerley, in lane four, trailed Marvin Bracy for 95 meters of the tight race, but managed to outdip his teammate for victory in 9.86 seconds at Eugene's Hayward Field.
