Naciones con más medallas ganadas en los Juegos Olímpicos

By Chris Dinsdale

July 26, 2024 - August 11, 2024 - Los Juegos Olímpicos modernos comenzaron en 1896, el otorgamiento
de medallas de oro, plata y bronce se introdujo en los Juegos de 1904.

The Paris Olympic medals contain ironwork from the Eiffel Tower, the first time any host city has incorporated pieces of a national monument.

Designed by jeweller Chaumet, the 18-gram hexagon tokens, representing the shape of France, are made of iron from past refurbishments of the Tower stored for years in a warehouse whose location is secret.

The back of the medals features the Greek goddess of victory, Nike, charging forward, with the Acropolis to one side and the Eiffel Tower to the other.

The 5,084 medals, including for the Paralympic Games, are produced by France’s mint, the Monnaie de Paris.
