Closing Ceremony
Closing Ceremony: The Olympic Games are declared closed
LĂ©on Marchand has arrived at the Stade de France with the Olympic Flame from the Jardins des Tuileries.
The audience who have stayed are giving him a warm welcome. "LĂ©on, LĂ©on," the stadium chants as one.
The six athletes who accompanied Tony Estanguet and President Thomas Bach’s speeches earlier wait for him on stage, as does the IOC President.
President Bach declares the Games closed, then the six athletes and Marchand blow out the flame in the lantern.Â
“In accordance with tradition, I call upon the youth of the world to assemble four years from now in Los Angeles, United States of America, to celebrate with all of us the Games of the XXXIV Olympiad,” President Bach adds.
