Paris Olympics 2024 as it happened: Day 15 - Hull wins historic silver, Steph Curry leads USA to victory, Khelif files harassment complaint, Stingers go home with silver

That’s all we have time for today.

The Sydney bureau is officially signing off for Paris 2024. Los Angeles, we’ll see you in four years.

Don’t worry, the Games aren’t quite over yet, we still have Aussies in action for the marathon, cycling and basketball before the closing ceremony – our colleagues in Melbourne and Paris will bring you all the action from those.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know. The Olympics is meant to be all about excellence. So what is Raygun doing there, with her breakdancing routine, you ask?

Being EXCELLENT, dammit, at too many things to count. But let’s try and count them, after a quick recap.

Dr Rachael Gunn, aka Raygun, is a 36-year-old Sydneysider with a PhD in cultural studies, “interested in the cultural politics of breaking”. She is also the talk of much of the globe for a – technically – less than prepossessing performance in the brand spanking new Olympic sport of breaking (aka breakdancing).

Sure, she didn’t make the podium, but she has sure made the world talk, and laugh, and exult!

When is the next Olympics?

The 2028 Olympics will begin on July 14, 2028 and conclude on July 30, 2028. It is then followed by the Paralympic Games, which will be held between August 15 and 27.

Where will the next Olympics take place?

The next Olympics in four years will take place in Los Angeles, California.

After the withdrawal of other bidding cities, the International Olympic Committee decided to award LA with the 2028 Games.

Los Angeles previously hosted the Olympics in 1932 and 1984 and will become the third city – after London and Paris in 2024 – to host the Summer Games three times.

What about the 2032 and 2036 Olympics?

The 2032 Games will be held in Brisbane.

The bidding process is underway for the 2036 Games with Turkey, India, Indonesia and Chile among the nations who are considering hosting.

Of a potential Olympics 2036 bid, HRH Prince Abdulaziz Bin Turki Al Faisal, the Saudi sports minister, said: “I think we now have all that it takes to host any tournament that comes our way... I am not in a position to comment on specific bids, but I can tell you that we always keep an eye out on different events and sports properties that we could partner with.

“We were recently awarded the right to host the Asian Winter Games in 2029 and have also secured the 2034 Asian Games two years ago. Our focus now lies on building on our existing world-class infrastructure and preparing new ones for them.”
