Medals made with metal chunks from Eiffel Tower
The Morning Standard
|February 09, 2024
AN Olympic medal inlaid with a chunk of the Eiffel Tower. How's that for a monumental prize? A hexagonal, polished piece of iron taken from the iconic landmark is being embedded in each gold, silver and bronze medal that will be hung around athletes' necks at the July 26-August 11 Paris Games and Paralympics. Games organisers revealed their revolutionary design on Thursday.
-
Simone Biles has seven medals from her two previous Olympics and LeBron James has two golds and one bronze from London, Beijing and Athens. But neither of those athletes who are targeting the Paris Games nor any of the roughly 36,600 other medallists at 29 previous Summer Olympics stretching back to 1896 ever owned one quite like these. By making history at the Games, Paris medallists will take a bit of France and its history home, too.
