See you in 2024, Paris. While the Summer Games have come to an end, the abbreviated quadrennial is just beginning and event organizers are already looking ahead to the 2024 Paris Olympics. To close the Tokyo Games, the Olympic flag was lowered by representatives of the Self-Defense Forces. Then, Tokyo governor Yuriko Koike and Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo joined IOC President Thomas Bach for the Olympic flag handover ceremony. On the center stage, Koike handed the Olympic flag to Bach, who then passed it on to Hidalgo. For the next three years, the Olympic flag will be displayed in Paris’ town hall.
