Metals used in the medals for the Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics
Winning a medal at the Olympic and Paralympic Games is often the pinnacle of an athlete's career. For the Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics, the medals were all manufactured with 18 grams of iron, which had been taken from Paris' most iconic monument; the Eiffel Tower. Meanwhile, both the gold and silver medals were made with over 95 percent silver content.
