Tokyo Olympics close with US leading in gold medals

The 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which were marred by a number of controversies, winded down on Sunday with the United States taking home the most medals in addition to the most gold.

The closing ceremony, dubbed “Worlds We Share,” featured stunt bikes and light shows in front of the same empty stadium that athletes entered on July 23 ahead of the torch-lighting. The closing events featured a transition to Paris, the host of the 2024 Games, as volunteers were handed bouquets and the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra took to the stage.
