United States top final medals table at Paris Olympics

The Americans finished with a total of 126 medals with China in second place on 91 after the last event of the Games, which saw the US women’s basketball team secure a record eighth gold.

The 2024 Olympics are drawing to a close with an elaborate closing ceremony at the Stade de France just north of Paris.

It’s a more traditional setting after the Seine River was used for the audacious opening ceremony, but don’t expect it to be dull. There’ll be over a hundred performers, acrobats, dancers and circus artists, the organizers say.

The closing ceremony is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. CEST (3 p.m. EDT), and is expected to last until 11:15 p.m. CEST (5:15 p.m. EDT). Watch the action live on NBC or stream it on the Peacock app.
