On Sunday night, the 2024 Paris Olympic Games came to a close at the Stade de France.
Team USA and China both won 40 gold medals during the Games but the Americans finished top of the standing after winning more silver medals.
Team GB managed to win one more medal than they did at the Tokyo Olympics but only clinched 14 golds compared to 22 three years ago.
During the closing ceremony, Paris handed the Olympics to Los Angeles, where the 2028 Games are due to take place.
As Hollywood actor Tom Cruise jumped off the roof at the Stade de France to collect the Olympic flag, the likes of Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Billie Eilish and Snoop Dogg were performing on the West Coast of America.
Snoop Dogg was joined by Dr Dre for a rendition of ‘The Next Episode’.
As the 52-year-old performed, the French language Olympics social media account wrote: “The Olympic flag on Venice Beach!”
However, viewers were quick to point out that the performances were actually taking place at Long Beach, not Venice Beach.
One fan said: “It’s Long Beach NOT Venice Beach.”
Another tweeted: “Did they really call it Venice Beach? That was Long Beach!”
A third fan added: “Sir that is not Venice Beach. Put some respect on Long Beach lol.”

Someone else wrote: “Did they really call it Venice Beach? That was Long Beach! Anyone in Belmont Shore saw them filming yesterday.”
After being quizzed on the smaller amount of gold medals won, Team GB boss Andy Anson said: “Every day of the Games we’ve won a medal, that’s never happened before.
“They kept coming. Right up until this morning, we’d won two medals with Emma Finucane and Emily Campbell. Both brilliant characters.”
He added: “There have been so many moments, the gold medals we can discuss, but the number of medals, the quantity of the medals, the nature of the medals has just been incredible. From 18 different sports, 131 athletes I think have won medals out of our whole team of 327.”
