Paris 2024 Olympic Medals Feature Iron From The Eiffel Tower

French wheelchair tennis France champion Pauline Deroulede (L) looks on next to French Paralympic swimmer Alex Portal (C) and French freestyle wrestler Koumba Larroque during the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games medal unveiling ceremony at the Paris 2024 headquarters in Saint-Denis on February 8, 2024. The medals at this year’s Olympics in Paris were not only inspired by the Eiffel Tower — they each contain an original piece of the 19th-century landmark. Unveiling the designs Thursday, Games organizers said that ironwork removed from the structure during earlier renovations had been repurposed to create the medals’ hexagonal centerpiece. The move, they added, would give successful athletes “veritable pieces of the history of Paris” to take home with them. Photo by Firas Abdullah/ABACAPRESS.COM
