As the Olympic competition wound down Sunday, Paris police and security services shifted their focus to the closing ceremony that will bring the curtain down on the 2024 Summer Games. More than 30,000 police officers were deployed around the French capital and beyond to watch over the last Olympic events, the AP reports, which included the women’s marathon, women’s modern pentathlon in Versailles, and women’s basketball final between France and the US. Hours before the closing ceremony, police evacuated the area around the Eiffel Tower after a shirtless man was seen climbing the 1,083-foot-tall landmark.
