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. ❤

[@FunnynameHa]

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

[@trude_in_adelaide]

I agree! He's a great representative for the USA and the man does all his own stunts! He truly is the G.O.A.T!

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!!

Tom was the best choice for this!! A fan from Austria!!

[@mariarohmer2374]

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!👍🏽👏🏽🙌🏽

[@vijaymampilly1314]

Simply can't wait ^^

[@ralphcorneliuscastro]

Can't wait for Team USA to dominate the Los Angeles 2028 overall medal table! If the U.S. athletes clinched the top spot with more gold medals in LA28, they'll break the record for the 20th time and it'll be the 20th Summer Olympic Games as the medal table leader! However, it will be impossible to replicate the highest number of gold and overall medals they won back in Los Angeles 1984. Additionally, it would not be surprising if one of the other Top 10 countries would get the spot. Usually, (joined with the United States) the nations China, Great Britain, Japan, Australia, France, Netherlands, Russia, South Korea, Italy, and Germany who would be in the Top 10, but again I am excited for LA28! I'm also rooting for my home country, the Philippines! Gonna tell you now that this will be the best Summer Olympic Games in the 21st century so far!

[@goatcheese4me]

I wish they would have kept the new Olympic design on the Hollywood sign for these 4 years, then take it down the morning after the closing ceremony. What a cool reminder of the games that would be on the iconic sign. EDIT: I just read that the sign was digitally altered for the ceremony--there was no actual alteration or construction done. That's a bummer.

[@matlam3894]

Tom Cruise is one great actor but apart from doing action roles he has been doing for many years he should even start do the old man roles like father or grandfather of the lead roles as well..

[@elwingy]

02:26 good God... they really crave to jump to social justice crap with every given opportunity arent they? What the hell does carrying the olympic flag and handing it over have to do with representing women for lord's sake... you are representing the olympic spirit for crying out loud... not everything has to be turned into a dramatic fight towards social justice....

[@philippehoudoin2721]

Modern olympic spirit includes woman / man parity. If it's a problem for you, you're not after the current olympic spirit but something older, a more conservative olympic spirit which die decades ago already.

[@elwingy]

@@philippehoudoin2721 wth are you on to lol? At what point did I criticize anything about parity between men and women? Wth does she have to remind people that she is representing women during an olympic flag handing over skit? Do men need to remind us that they represent men? Its just unnecessary. Plain stupid. She isnt the focus of this skit. The olympic spirit and flag is.

[@robertdora7026]

What are the chances that the flag handover to Brisbane involves Chris Hemsworth?? Quite high I would think 😊

[@c.greystone9825]

Tom Cruise and the mayor of LA should sign in that flag so to prove to all that’s the same flag - and not another flag - brought back from Paris by Cruise.
