it was a very beautiful pattern
love that it has little bits of the eiffel tower in it !
6 grams of gold?? That can’t be right 😂😂
The Olympics loves to be cheap and maximise profits every way
Long story short, not that much
Gold medal should be 10 oz of 22c gold
they should make emerald medal, gold medal (90% gold), and diamond medal
Normal people: I'll bite my medal to prove it's real
Americans: I'mma eat that shit om nom nom
They should be 100% considering how little they pay these athletes. It's disgusting. Billions in revenue, and they pay the athletes an extremely small %.
OMG, my 10gram 24k gold coin have more gold than the metal. Seriously?!
Those girls are cringe af
Why isn’t the gold medal gold?
Sooo whats in the bronze medal😐🥺
And the bronze medals rust due to having iron in it. Womp womp
I hope it is at least 1mm of gold plate. It would be embarrassing for the gold to wear out in a few years and look like a silver medal.
Plated ! That’s just wack
Wow, so bullshit Olympic metals in France made from their garbage? No thanks.
Being pur gold would certainly NOT cause the athletes to struggle to wear them. They would wiegh about twice as much. Olympic gold just keeps shaving off more and more gold… and of course they could absolutely afford to cast them in pure gold. They choose not to. Also why they actually added IRON? 😂😂😂
GOLD MEDAL ISN'T REALLY MADE OF GOLD. IT IS MADE OF SWEAT, DETERMINATION AND A HARD TO FIND ALLOY CALLED GUTS !!
❤❤❤❤❤
Olympic committee is so cheap. The medals are basically vermeil where it’s gold plated sterling silver.
Wow, that’s a great idea to have pieces of the Eiffel tower. They should do that with every Olympic medal. So the people that win have a piece from that country or landmark!
They ripping us off all that hard work and the 🥇 is not fully gold 🤦🏾♂️
imo, a gold medal should be made of 100% gold and nothing else. Similar, the silver and bronze medals should be made of 100% of their respective named element. They're cheaping out and scamming athletes.
If cant afford for gold medal, dont organize it. The atheletes work their entire life for it. They deserve a pure gold medal.
That is very symbolic and good way to upcycle Effiel Tower's metal.
I don’t wanna go on the Eiffel Tower
The gold of french olymp. medals is true gold, the bronze instead is fake…! 😂😂🤣🤣
Pieces of shit. Not a gold medal
1 place should have been 100% gold thats bs
They can print billions of dollars out of thin air and yet they can only give six grams of gold for an Olympic gold medalist? Pathetic!

Angelica Yulo: 😑
Lista nyo na super team yolu next olympics. Team ph na maghahakot nang gold sa gymnastic..!
More on iron less percent of silver little gold lol fake gold medal iron.
In short gold metal is a junk metal ivel tawer, nothing special on it ripping of athlete sweth talent.
They also weren't sealed so they all oxidize after wearing, handling, or exposing them to the elements.
The Gold Medal should be 24kt pure GOLD. Anything less is false advertising and disrespectful to the time and effort it takes to win one.
6 grams of gold??!?!? Countries spend millions of dollars to send their athletes for 6 grams of gold! Just buy the dam gold. lol
Cheap behind
Paris was so on the ball of thinking ahead for the Olympics to use the bits of iron from the Eiffel Tower! Nobody will ever have another like that! Bravo, Paris@❤
On paper they got gold. In realism mode, they was all fighting for silver
Should be pure gold
French medal makers should have accepted technical assistance from Japan
French medal makers should have accepted technical assistance from Japan
Yeah…. Rather call it a way to save money
Yoinking out a tonne of silver in exchange for for old azzz rusted iron🗿
After a few years it doesn't worth nothing just a metal.
Finally Big Suge responded 😂😁🍻
Looks like the silver medal is the real winner
It is better to win a silver medal in Olympics..bcoz it was pure silver..
Why is everyone complaining about the medal only having 6 grams of gold? Did anyone forget the other prizes aside from the medal? Its not about how expensive the medal is but the effort and hard-work you put into it.
