This Thursday, February 8, Paris 2024 unveiled the medals for the next Olympic and Paralympic Games, the meeting of the most coveted object of the Games with the iconic symbol of France and Paris, the Eiffel Tower. Each medalist will receive an original piece of iron from the Eiffel Tower placed at the heart of their medal. To imagine its design, Paris 2024 called on its Athletes Commission and the know-how of Chaumet, House of the LVMH group, Premium Partner of the Paris 2024 Games.
Paris 2024 today lifted the veil on one of the best-kept secrets of the Games in the presence of Tony EstanguetPresident of Paris 2024 and three-time Olympic champion,Antoine ArnaultImage & Environment LVMH, Martin FourcadePresident of the Paris 2024 Athletes Commission, ex-biathlete and five-time Olympic champion, Beatrice Hessex-swimmer crowned with 20 Paralympic titles,Alex Portalsilver and bronze medalist swimmer at the Paralympic Games and qualified for the Paris 2024 Games, Koumba Larroquethird in the world wrestling championships in 2023 and qualified for the Paris 2024 Games, and Pauline Déroulèdetriple French champion and French number 1 in wheelchair tennis.
Combining the Paris 2024 Athletes Commission chaired by Martin Fourcade the creative choices for the design of the medals for the next Games, Paris 2024 wanted the object dreamed of by athletes to be truly made for them by imagining it with them.
Alongside Paris 2024 and its Athletes Commission, the artisans of Chaumet, jewelry house of the LVMH group, brought all their creativity and know-how to magnify the medals. Each element of their design thus reflects part of the identity of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Paris 2024 reaffirms its ambition to bring the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games closer together with this “Eiffel Tower face” common to the Olympic and Paralympic medals. Because the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games each have their own history, two unique stories are written on the other side of the medals. The Eiffel Tower also finds its place there, as a signature element of the Paris 2024 medals.
