- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The closing ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games had a strong Greek color with the French honoring our country in a special way as the birthplace of the event.
France and Greece are connected through Pierre de Coubertin, who revived the Olympic Games in 1896 and the closing ceremony of 2024 had our country in a leading role.
The Greek flag entered the Stade de France to the sound of the National Anthem, which was performed in a special way, and they gave light to a dystopian world without the Olympics.
Then the statue of Victory of Samothrace, which is in the Louvre, made its appearance. The Goddess Niki took center stage at the Stade de France.

The entrance of Plataniotis and Karalis to the Stade de France
The Closing Ceremony of the Olympic Games began with the "return" of the athletes to the stadium, with the Greek team - traditionally - entering first with flag bearers Evangelia Plataniotis and Manolis Karalis.
A total of 206 flag bearers of the participating Olympic delegations and those of the Olympic refugee team entered the stadium in turn, marching through a stage that symbolically represents a... flat circle. Nine thousand athletes and attendants were in the center of the playing field, as protagonists of the program.
