What's In The Box Olympians Get With Their Medals? An Athlete Revealed It In Viral TikTok, And It's So Creative

As a seasoned gamer and collector of unique memorabilia, I must admit that the 2024 Paris Olympics poster given to medalists has piqued my interest. The intricate design by Ugo Gattoni captures the essence of both the city and the spirit of the games beautifully. It’s a piece of art that would undoubtedly be a prized addition to any sports enthusiast’s collection.

If you’ve been glued to your screen watching the 2024 Paris Olympics through Peacock as if your life hinged on it, then chances are you’ve pondered some questions about these games. Questions like: Why don’t I watch more rugby? Why isn’t Team Handball more popular in the U.S.? Most importantly, what exactly are those boxes that all the medalists are receiving? Well, a viral TikTok from a gold medal-winning canoeist has shed some light on this mystery for us.

Medal recipients often receive something extra along with their medals. This could be something straightforward like flowers or a toy representing that year’s mascot. However, during this year’s medal ceremonies, you might have observed that the winners on the podium are presented with a sleek wooden box. Once again, Australian gold medalist Jess Fox has made headlines on TikTok for showcasing an exclusive poster designed specially for the games, and it truly is stunning.

The poster, as Town & Country reports, was creatively crafted by the French artist Ugo Gattoni. He reportedly put in an impressive 2000 hours of effort into its creation. As shown on TikTok, this poster offers a vibrant and colorful depiction of Paris, featuring all recognizable landmarks alongside athletes performing diverse Olympic activities scattered throughout the city.

As a gamer, I must say this poster is awesome and easily purchasable if you’re interested. However, it seems that the gold embossed logo on the medalists’ poster is exclusive to their version, so only the winners can truly boast ownership of something truly unique – considering they just earned Olympic medals, it makes perfect sense.

Indeed, my thoughts are currently on athletes who participate in various events and have the chance to earn several medals. Simon Biles, at the Olympics, has been a spectacle to behold, claiming gold not only for the gymnastics team competition but also in the individual all-around. It seems likely that, as she now possesses two medals, the Olympics may have produced two posters in her honor, just as they’ve earned a place on the walls of her accomplishments.

As someone who has collected a few keepsakes over the years, I find myself often pondering about what to do with the extras when I acquire more than one of something. For instance, I have a beautiful framed picture and an Olympic medal that I won in my younger days. Displaying the first one on the wall is a no-brainer – it’s a source of pride and a reminder of a cherished moment in my life.

If you’re particularly fond of this year’s Olympic posters that are given to athletes, it would be a great opportunity to connect or become friendly with athletes who have won multiple medals this year.
