At 19:00 Beijing time on August 8, the closing ceremony of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games was held. The host city of the Olympic Games, Tokyo, and the host city of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games, Paris, are handing over their flags.
"8 Minutes in Paris" is particularly stunning: first of all, a performance of the Marseillaise. Violin playing in front of Notre Dame Cathedral, marimba playing in the Louvre, piano playing in the old train station in Paris... Musicians play in all corners of the city, calling on people to participate and exercise together. On the International Space Station, French astronauts used the saxophone to play the last melody of the Marseillaise.
The camera then follows BMX athletes deep into the city streets, and the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee and the Paris Municipal Government also held a series of related celebrations in the city of Paris, and the famous French "French Patrol" air show broke through the sky.
On the Eiffel Tower, a huge Olympic flag (90 meters long and 60 meters wide) is hoisted. "We've been waiting for this moment for an extra year." Previously, Estangai, chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Paris Olympics, said, "People are very excited, we want to start with a world record, which will be the biggest flag ever." ”
At the end of the performance, Macron, surrounded by young people, issued an invitation to the world with the slogan of "higher, faster, stronger and more united", and Paris will take "athletes as the core" as the purpose of the Olympic Games, and welcome athletes from all over the world to Paris and know Paris.
