The Paris Olympics wrapped up Sunday with the closing ceremony at the Stade de France, and the baton was passed to Los Angeles, which will be hosting the Games in 2028.

The United States won the most medals in Paris (126) and tied China for the most gold medals (40).

Leading the way for the United States was gymnastics superstar Simone Biles, who completed her comeback story by winning gold in both the team and individual all-around. Another one of the all-time great Olympians, swimmer Katie Ledecky, added two golds, a silver and a bronze to her career resume.

China was led by its dominant diving team, which won all eight events for an unprecedented sweep.

In track and field, world records were shattered by Swedish pole vaulter Armand “Mondo” Duplantis and American hurdler Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. Julien Alfred won Saint Lucia’s first-ever Olympic medal when she won the 100 meters.

The host nation had plenty to cheer for as well. France won gold in men’s volleyball and rugby sevens, swimmer Léon Marchand won four gold medals and a bronze, and judo legend Teddy Riner won two golds. Both French basketball teams earned silver medals while pushing the heavily favored Americans to the brink.
