Hey there, Olympics fans! 🎉
Guess what dropped by the China Media Group's (CMG) studio in Paris this Tuesday? Only the super-exclusive medals for the 2024 Summer Olympics! 🥇🥈🥉 Talk about a shiny surprise!
These medals haven't been making many public appearances since their grand unveiling back in February. So, catching a glimpse of them is like spotting a rare Pokémon! 😲 Thanks to CMG's tight friendship with the Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS), and their role as a main broadcaster for the Paris Games, the medals made their way to the studio.
What's extra special about these medals? Each one has a hexagon-shaped piece of iron right in the center—sourced straight from the iconic Eiffel Tower! 🗼 Talk about carrying a piece of Paris with you.
Tony Estanguet, the President of the Paris 2024 Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, spilled the tea on the design. Crafted by the French jewelry maestros at Chaumet, each medal is totally unique. No two are the same, making them as singular as the athletes who'll win them! 🌟
But wait, there's more! OBS also brought along one of the torches that'll blaze the trail in the 2024 Olympics torch relay. It even journeyed through the majestic Palace of Versailles in Yvelines on the same day. 🔥
Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes scoops as we gear up for the big games! 🎭
