Bach noted that athletes from countries and regions in conflict showed remarkable sportsmanship and camaraderie in the Olympic Village, sharing meals and celebrating together without incident.

"This is Olympic spirit at its best," Bach said, commending the athletes for resisting external pressures to display aggression and instead choosing to live in peace and mutual respect.

The Games also witnessed historic victories, such as Botswana's Letsile Tebogo becoming the first African to win the men's 200m race, and Julien Alfred taking Saint Lucia's first ever Olympic medal of any color by winning the women's 100m event.
