By my humble opinion bringing Tom Cruise to the Olympics is crazy cool! Thanks, Tom! If I had an Oscar it'd be all yours. ❤

We've spent such a incredible time here in our city of Paris. We really hope that the Olympics in LA will bring as much joy to Californians, Americans and the rest of the world. It was so good that I am pretty sure a lot of us will fly to LA in 2028. I am sure it will be amazing!! Good luck with all the preparation and organisation!! Bonne chance!!

Love the variety of logos for 2028! Tom was incredible and Snoop just pushed it over the top.

[Ohnonotmyproblem]

I’m already liking the new logos, color scheme, and branding themes of LA olympics!

[viktorull]

I predict an opening ceremony with: history of jeans pants and california clothing, graffiti, Californian cars and motorcycles, latino colonization, cinema/movies (of course), lots of skate and surf and in music bands like Suicidal Tendencies, Metallica, Green Day, NOFX, surf rock!! Way to go L.A. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Paris was awesome. But, I have a feeling LA is going to be insane 😊

[jcctikp]

Awesome!!! I really enjoyed the ride, LA28!!!

[geegeeme]

An Olympics I can actually attend! I can’t wait!

[FunnynameHa]

Getting Tom Cruise was really the BEST idea🔥. He's literally the G.O.A.T

[MichaelWalker-wupq]

It was a GREAT handoff from Paris to Los Angeles!

[FeltonKimmonsy]

You explained this so well, thank you!

Guys, you did an incredible job. I can be critical and eye-rolling if something doesn't cut it. I have to tell you I was blown away by the cleverness, the fun, the excitement and the love of L.A. It was all there, how fantastic our city is! Ending it at the beach was perfect. It looked so beautiful. Not sure why Billie was included, cuz her music (whilst beautiful) just didn't scream L.A. or celebration. Buy, hey, we had RHCP and Snoop. Quintessential L.A.. I'm not sure how everything looked so green and blue. Maybe you used filters. Whatever the case, our city never looked so awesome. I loved this. You aced it!👍🏽👏🏽🙌🏽

There is no games like home games: as a french, I can't agree more. Have fun, LA!

[vijaymampilly]

This was like watching an Apple event, well packaged! Well Done!

[JuliaWeber-oq]

I hope LA does a mivie theme as cool as tom cruise

[StevieLevendoski-yd]

Those guys that came up with this idea especially including Tom Cruise are geniuses!

Why can’t I find a single video of the whole thing

[renesmook]

where can we watch the entire clip that was played during the closing ceremony - the clips online are all highlights or cuts - not the full one

[lilianaprina]

Some people train six days a week to be part of the Olympics. It goes beyond a special effect, it is reality. Congratulations, I can't wait for 2028...

Great Video, better start cleaning up NOW!!!! Most of these people haven't been to LA lately I assume!!!!
