I think these were Games for the ages,
They've got a high bar to reach. A lot of work to do,
It will be a challenge but it will be a challenge we can step up to,
I think you got that one big dog,
All that is being said about me on social media is immoral. I want to change the minds of people around the world,

Many activities and events are organised here and when the visitors have gone we will be left with the sports facilities.”
It’s been a huge success. An extraordinary and exceptional moment that has reinforced the image of Paris,
