[The chummy scene in Paris, with Simon Biles holding the Olympic flag]
When we heard, more than a week ago, that Tom Cruise would be rappelling into the Stade de France to take the Olympic flag on a (mostly pre-recorded) trip to Los Angeles, we raised a question here at the Underground Bunker: If by tradition the mayor of Paris (Anne Hidalgo) would hand over the flag to the mayor of LA (Karen Bass) for the 2028 games, would Cruise then have to receive it from Bass?
We got our answer last night when we watched the Closing Ceremony. Karen Bass did receive the flag from Hidalgo (by way of IOC president Thomas Bach), but she handed it over to gymnast Simon Biles as they went to a different part of the stage for the playing of the US anthem performed by singer H.E.R.
When that was concluded, Cruise appeared on the roof of the stadium, mugged for the camera, then rappelled down to the stadium floor. He made his way to the stage, where he and Bass warmly greeted each other (see the screenshot, above), and then he took the flag from Biles before putting it in a motorcycle and driving off.
So yes, pretty close to what we had suggested earlier. Karen Bass was part of Tom’s stunt, a Hollywood takeover of the Paris games to promote the transfer to Los Angeles in 2028.
