Day 16 of the Olympic Games in Paris saw the last medals awarded. Both China and the United States struck gold, leaving the two countries with 40 each. But the US found themselves on top of the medals table, with more silvers overall. Japan finished third while hosts France ended their most successful Olympic campaign in fifth place. The SAR finished 37th. Hailey Yip and Kelly Yu report on the final day of action from Paris:

The Paris Olympic Games have now formally ended with a spectacular closing ceremony in the French capital at the Stade de France. French swimming star, Leon Marchand extinguished the Olympic cauldron. Hollywood star Tom Cruise leapt from the roof of the stadium and whisked away the Olympic flag on a motorcycle, where he boarded a plane and sky-dived into Los Angeles. Hailey Yip and Kelly Yu have more on the grand finale:

And they are doing this by amping up the atmosphere at the Place de la Concorde, which has become the heart of urban sports at the Paris games. Hailey Yip reports from the French capital:

Olympic fencing gold medallist, Vivian Kong, has kicked off a visit to Hangzhou with a youth delegation from the government's Strive and Rise Programme. Speaking to reporters ahead of her departure, she said she wanted to give something back to Hong Kong. Damon Pang reports:

A top local sports official says the SAR should not solely focus on one or two elite athletes. The honorary secretary general of the Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China, Edgar Yang, says the city should nurture all athletes with potential. Anne Chan reports:

Financial Secretary Paul Chan says Hong Kong should integrate further with the country's development and contribute to its modernisation.

The entertainment juggernaut that is Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour heads to the Wembley Stadium in London later this week in what will be the finale of the US star’s Europe leg of the tour.
