Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl LIX

New Orleans, devastated by Hurricane Katrina two decades ago and known for the New Year's Day massacre, came alive as the host city for Super Bowl LIX. 

In this matchup, the defending champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, aimed to make NFL history by becoming the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls, facing off against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles, however, were determined to prevent this historical achievement in front of the packed crowd at Caesars Superdome.

The first half of the Super Bowl saw the Eagles surging ahead with 24 points, but the Chiefs were left scoreless. The Chiefs pulled out all the stops in the second half, but it wasn’t enough to bring the Eagles down.

After a total of 17 days of witnessing athletes from many countries competing in different sports not just for medals but for the honor of their home countries, not to mention the heated rivalry between the US and China in terms of medal counts, the Paris 2024 Olympics has come to an end.

Here are the final medalists of the day;

  • Sifan Hassan (NED) - Women's Marathon
  • Michelle Gulyas (HUN) - Women's Individual Laser-Run
  • Kotaro Kiyooka (JPN) - Men's Freestyle 65kg

And now at the final medal tally; The United States scored 40 golds out of 126, China with 40 golds out of 91, and Japan with 20 golds out of 45. In conclusion, the US and China ended the Paris 2024 rivalry in an honorable draw in terms of gold medals but the real winner goes to Team USA for scoring the most medals in the Paris 2024 Olympics with 126 medals.

With the games finished, here comes the closing ceremony. In contrast to the opening ceremony that took place at the Seine, the farewell celebration took place inside Stade de France with musical performances by Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, among many others. It concludes with passing the torch to the host city of the 2028 Summer Olympics; Los Angeles.


The Paris 2024 Olympics may be over, but the long wait for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics is somewhat mired with concerns and uncertainties. Regardless of who wins the November 2024 US Presidential Elections, let's hope that geopolitical concerns and uncertainties don't get in the way of the long wait for the Los Angeles games.

Until then, merci beaucoup Paris!
