The organizers have been tight-lipped about exactly what we can look forward to from today’s closing ceremony. But some of the chief architects of the Games have provided some clues over the last fortnight…
Tony Estanguet, the president of the Paris 2024 Organizing Committee, has said that the closing ceremony “will be solemn and emotional, but it will also be a time for celebration!”
“Finally, the pressure will be off, and everyone will be able to take full advantage of the absolutely exceptional show that is being planned under the direction of Thomas Jolly, with the help of all the teams working across the four Paris 2024 ceremonies,” he added in another press appearance earlier this week.
Thomas Jolly was the artistic director for the opening ceremony and will also be in charge of tonight’s festivities. He has said the event will be “very visual, very choreographic, very acrobatic” and will have “an operatic dimension to give a great visual fresco and say goodbye to athletes from all over the world.”
