The USA contingent was the largest at Paris Olympics 2024 with 592 athletes.

The Paris Olympics 2024 will see one last day of action between the athletes. One of the top performers at the event, Team USA became the first nation to win more than 100 medals at this edition. There has been intense rivalry between the USA and China in the medal tally.

The USA contingent was led by tennis sensation Coco Gauff and NBA legend Lebron James during the opening ceremony. Gauff lost in the third round in women’s singles and the second round in women’s doubles while partnering with Jessica Pegula.

She also featured in mixed doubles with Taylor Fritz and reached the quarter-finals. On the other hand, James will be playing the final in men’s basketball against France. Now, with the Games about to end, it is time for the closing ceremony which will be held at Stade de France.

There will be more than 100 performers led by Thomas Jolly who will be the artistic director of the closing ceremony. The theme of the event is to celebrate the past and embrace the future.
