history of the medals

While we talk about top sporting performance, we must not forget the story behind the coveted medals! The tradition of the golden, silver and bronze awards has its roots in antiquity. The winners of the Olympic Games in Greece originally received an olive wreath and a silver medal. In 1904, gold medals were first awarded at the Olympic Games in the United States. Interestingly, modern Olympic gold medals are mainly made of silver and are only covered with 6 grams of pure gold. This choice of metals reflects their rarity and value and represents a symbolic appreciation for extraordinary achievements, as it explains Science ABC . Today the medals at all international competitions, especially at the Olympic Games, are an absolute must and represent the ultimate success in every sport.
