You would think Team USA had won another gold medal, as cheers and cheers rang out at the Olympics Aquatic Centre in Saint Denis on Sunday.
But it was veteran star Tom Cruise who won the prizes, after practising a different discipline during his weekend in Paris for the Olympics.
The 62-year-old Hollywood actor blew kisses to fans as he watched a swimming relay event after cheering on Simone Biles in the women’s gymnastics event.
He was spotted taking selfies with fans and even gave Lady Gaga a hug after she performed at the opening ceremony.
The Mission: Impossible star returned to London by helicopter after his Olympic weekend.

The appearance comes just weeks after he was spotted at Wimbledon, where he sits just a few places below fellow A-lister Julia Roberts.
Cruise was spotted wearing a stylish white polo shirt, black aviator sunglasses and a silver watch.
When he headed back to London, he completed his look with dark blue jeans and black boots.
The actor has been living in London since 2021, almost ten years after he divorced his third wife Katie Holmes.
Earlier this month, he was spotted filming a death-defying aerial scene for the eighth, yet-untitled Mission: Impossible film.
The film reunites the actor, who plays spy Ethan Hunt, with his frequent partner Christopher McQuarrie, who directed the last four M:I films.
He will also reunite with his regular co-stars Ving Rhames, who played Luther Stickell in every M:I film alongside Cruise, and Simon Pegg, whose Benji Dunn debuted in 2006’s Mission: Impossible III.
Henry Czerny (Eugene Kittridge), Vanessa Kirby (The White Widow), Pom Klementieff (Paris), Hayley Atwell (Grace), Shea Whigham (Jasper Briggs), Esai Morales (Gabriel) and Frederick Schmidt (Zola Mitsopolis) also return.

Newcomers to the franchise include Hannah Waddingham, Nick Offerman, Katy O’Brian, Indira Varma, Holt McCallany and Janet McTeer.
Cruise will also reunite with his Edge of Tomorrow and American Made director Doug Liman for what is set to be a historic project, in collaboration with Space X.
The untitled film, which Cruise and Liman co-wrote with McQuarrie, would be the first in Hollywood history to actually be shot in space.
He was also developing a long-awaited sequel to Edge of Tomorrow, but there’s no indication yet when that will happen.
The actor also has another McQuarrie film – The Gauntlet – in pre-production, starring Scarlett Johansson.
