Paris Olympic Games Medal
The medals used in the 2024 Paris Olympic and paralympics were designed by French designer Philip Starck and officially announced at the headquarters of the Paris Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games on February 8, 2024. The design was inspired by the Paris landmark, the Tour de France. Each medal was inlaid with a hexagonal piece of the original construction material of the Tour de France (the iron sheet of the 1889 Tour de France). The metal elements of the tower were in the center of the medal, complementing the embossed of the Paris 2024 logo on it. The shape of the medal was designed to be a hexagon on the map of France, surrounded by a circle of clear lines of "sunlight scattering" pattern, symbolizing Paris 'nickname "City of Light". Judging from the manufacturing process of the medal, Shangmei, as a jewelry family, applied the claw setting of gemstones to the embedding of iron plates. The pyramid shape of the six small claws was called the Paris nail, inspired by the big stone streets of Paris. The three-dimensional lines around the iron sheet were inspired by the sun diamond crown made by Shangmei Paris for the Russian princess in 1914. Its scattered shape inspired the medal design and echoed the reputation of Paris as the City of Light. On the back of the paralympics medal was the bottom view of the eiffel tower, while the special edition of the Paris Olympic medal had a mini iron tower on the upper right corner of the back. In addition, the original design of a medal at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games could be split into four pieces. The winning athlete could choose to keep the first piece and give the remaining three pieces to relatives, friends or coaches. However, there was no definite information on whether the design plan had been approved by the International Olympic Committee. It was worth mentioning that these medals had high artistic value, and their artistic elements were protected by copyright. It was an act of copyright violation for e-commerce companies to copy and sell the Paris Olympic medals. While watching the Olympics, you can also read the wonderful novels related to the Olympics!
