Tom Cruise saved the goodbye

Spanish handball put the finishing touch with bronze on 18 medals, far, far away from Barcelona-92’s 22, with 13 gold. And Paris said goodbye to some great sports Games, on the stages and with the public filling the competition venues. Galls She is queen, but only half. Marchand He is king but in water and Duplantis set the best record in the world. The level is high. The US swept without Russia and tied for gold with China but surpassed it in the number of medals (126 compared to 91), with Japan, Australia and France in the top five and Spain 15. The top ten exceeded 22 (plus Canada, the 12) and Olympism emerged stronger from Paris, although with the succession of the current president Thomas Bach tomorrow in 2025, with Sebastian Coe Running and waiting for the strong man, Juan Antonio Samaranch Salisachs ends the application.

The farewell ceremony is another waste of resources, creativity and symbolism, but again it is long throughout. The prominence of the athletes (who were absent in the opening) is to be applauded and the golden character that descends from the sky is as artful as it is extravagant for the time. Goodbye saved him Tom Cruise in a relay, yes, with too much music. Los Angeles took the baton of the final Games in Europe for many years to come, with a remarkable level of organization and competitiveness and waiting for the spectacle to dominate the spectacular events in Hollywood style. Farewell speeches are also long. Bach He described the Games as “sensational” and, discounting his bias somewhat, he was right. Only the conditions of the River Seine are a serious problem in an emotional, competitive and powerful sports calendar. They passed without a surname, but with many names and for Spain they certainly meant a moment of reflection after doing a great job without meeting expectations.
