Follow i's live blog for updates from the final day of the Olympic Games in Paris
Au revoir Paris. Good luck Los Angeles following this. The stars of the show where the landmarks we all know and love, the Eiffel Tower, an even better site for beach volleyball than the Copacabana in Rio. The Grand Palais was, well, palatial. Watching taekwondo will never be the same again. The Place de la Concorde, a bloody terminus for many two centuries ago, was party central, the skateboarders and breakdancers bringing all their counter-culture vibes to the heart of the city.
Once the rain that blighted the audacious opening ceremony, and the events utilising the Seine, had passed, the city of light was flooded with sunshine, and at its vivid centre, the Olympic cauldron would rise at night, a golden planet above the Jardin de Tuileries. Yes the Olympic Village took some hits. The food wasn’t great, but hey, it was even worse in the media centre. And the women’s boxing was dominated by a gender dispute that yielded only losers.
