New York City's city hall is lit up in red, white and blue to honor Team USA's Olympians competing in Paris.

"New York City is the Olympic Village of the world," posted Mayor Eric Adams on X.

"Tonight, we lit up City Hall in red, white, and blue to celebrate New York's own Lauren Scruggs and @TeamUSA fencing making history — among the many outstanding Americans making us so proud at the #ParisOlympics this summer," Adams said.

Scruggs, 21, from Queens, was part of the U.S. women's foil team that took home the gold Thursday after defeating Italy.
