PARIS 2024
Países mais medalhados nos Jogos Olímpicos de Verão
July 26, 2024 - August 11, 2024 - Os Jogos Olímpicos de verão 2024, os Jogos da XXXIII Olimpíada, têm lugar em Paris, França. Os Jogos Olímpicos modernos começaram em 1896, sendo a atribuição de medalhas de ouro, prata e bronze introduzida em 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.
