The 2024 Paris Summer Olympics have officially come to a close. Sunday night at the closing ceremony, Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo passed the Olympic flag to Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass, officially starting the countdown to LA 2028. In all, the United States won the overall medal count with 126 to China's 91, but the 2 rivals tied with 40 gold medals a piece. Sports agent and nationally recognized public relations advisor, Doug Eldridge, joins to share the latest on the Jordan Chiles gymnastics controversy. The Olympics got off to a dubious start with the controversial opening ceremony. Eldridge tells us how he thinks the Paris games will ultimately be remembered. He explains what their legacy is.
