The Paris Olympic Games are heading to a close, and they’ve certainly been one to celebrate for Australia.

The team has broken the record for the most gold medals at an Olympics for an Australian team and will be ready to party in style.

Those festivities will kick off with the closing ceremony which marks the official end of the Games, and the passing of the baton to Los Angeles which will host the next summer Olympics in four years.

Here’s everything you need to know about the 2024 Paris Olympic closing ceremony.

This move goes away from the non-traditional opening ceremony which took place on boats down the River Seine.

Who will be performing at the closing ceremony?

Thomas Jolly, a famous French actor and artistic director who also directed the opening ceremony, will return to put together the closing ceremony show.

The name of the show is called, ‘Records’, as the Games look to celebrate the athletes and their achievements in Paris.

A sneak peak of the show is available here.

One of the major parts of the closing ceremony is passing on the Olympics to the next host, Los Angeles. As a result, several American celebrities are expected to be involved.

US talk show host Jimmy Fallon is set to host the ceremony alongside sports commentator Mark Tirico.

Famous actor Tom Cruise is also tipped to play a big role in the evening, including a stunt or two. The Mission Impossible star is the only major name to be confirmed to this stage.
