A man climbed the Eiffel Tower, prompting evacuation, before the Olympic closing ceremony.
A man scaled the Eiffel Tower in Paris hours before the Olympic closing ceremony, causing an evacuation of the area. The shirtless climber was spotted just above the Olympic rings on the second section of the monument, prompting police to evacuate visitors and briefly lock those on the second floor before allowing them to exit. The Eiffel Tower was not part of the planned closing ceremony, and the incident did not impact the event, which took place at Stade de France with over 30,000 police officers deployed in Paris.
