The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris came to a glorious end with a spectacular closing ceremony featuring performances by Phoenix, H.E.R., and Tom Cruise symbolizing the handover to the 2028 Games in Los Angeles. Team USA won two basketball gold medals in close matches, securing their fifth straight Olympic title for the men’s team and eighth straight title for the women’s team. However, U.S. gymnast Jordan Chiles was asked to return her bronze medal in the floor exercise due to a coach’s appeal being submitted late. French President Emmanuel Macron celebrated the unity displayed during the Paris Olympics despite political tensions in the country. The U.S. and China tied for the most gold medals, marking the first Summer Games draw in Olympic history. Other highlights included the U.S. women’s soccer team winning gold, boxer Lin Yu-ting capturing featherweight gold, and reports of the Trump campaign being hacked by an Iranian group. In a tragic incident, an Israeli strike on a school-turned-shelter in Gaza resulted in mass casualties, raising concerns about civilian harm. The Gen Alpha generation’s slang is baffling parents, with phrases like “sigma,” “gyatt,” and “fanum tax” being incomprehensible to many adults. Additionally, reports emerged of a school shooter incident in Uvalde, Texas, where the shooter’s uncle pleaded with police to let him talk to his nephew.
