Get ready, sports fans! 🏅 The Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games just unveiled their dazzling new podiums, and they're nothing short of spectacular. On Thursday, at the headquarters of the games' organizing committee, the world got its first glimpse of these unique stages where athletes will celebrate their victories.
Drawing inspiration from the iconic Eiffel Tower, the podiums feature a metal lace design that wraps around their exterior, giving a nod to the City of Light's most famous landmark. Talk about combining tradition with modern flair! 🇫🇷✨
But that's not all—the podiums are also a win for Mother Earth. 🌍💚 Made from wood and 100% recycled plastic, they've got a sleek grey and white color scheme that's both elegant and eco-friendly. Plus, their modular design means they're adaptable for different events, making them as functional as they are fashionable.
For individual events, the podium is compact, consisting of just three modules and stretching about four meters long. But for larger ceremonies, like the football award presentation, the podium expands to an impressive 40 meters using 43 modules! 😮 Now that's flexibility.
With designs like these, Paris 2024 is not just raising the bar for athletic excellence but also for sustainable and innovative event planning. We can't wait to see our favorite athletes standing atop these amazing podiums! 🥇✨
