The Olympic Flag was designed 111 years ago in 1913 by Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Games.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass receives the Olympic Flag during closing ceremonies of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in Saint-Denis on Sunday, Aug. 11, 2024. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is scheduled to arrive back from Paris on Monday afternoon, Aug. 12, bringing with her the official Olympic flag as the City of Angels gets ready to host the next Summer Games in 2028.
After Bass received the flag, California native H.E.R. performed the U.S. national anthem, then actor Tom Cruise dramatically descended on cables from the top of Stade de France to the stadium’s field, then jumped on a motorcycle to carry the flag out of the stadium on its journey to Los Angeles. Then a pre-filmed segment showed the Mission Impossible star parachuting into the hills above Hollywood and handing the flag to U.S. cyclist Kate Courtney — before the camera pulled back to reveal the Hollywood Sign adorned with the five Olympic rings.“It’s my hope that when girls around the world watched the first woman Mayor of Paris officially hand off the flag to the first woman Mayor of Los Angeles, they were inspired,” Bass said in a statement after the closing ceremony on Sunday.
