Paris 2024 unveiled the design of the 5,084 Olympic and Paralympic medals, created in the Maison Chaumet workshops. At the heart of the object so coveted by thousands of athletes is an authentic piece of the Eiffel Tower, cut into a hexagon and set, like a precious stone.
On the Olympic medals, an eternal figure, present since the birth of the modern Games: the Acropolis and Athena Nike, the goddess of victory emerging from the Panathenaic Stadium. And, for the first time, a personal touch from the organizers, the IOC having authorized Paris 2024 to engrave the EIFFel Tower there.
