Did you know?

Gold, silver, and bronze medals were introduced in 1904. In the ancient Olympics, winners received an olive wreath.

The tradition of awarding gold to first place, silver to second, and bronze to third began in St. Louis, the first Olympics held in the United States

I did not know this. So, it could be said that the Olympics is the birthplace of bling as well, lol.

And Gold medals were fully solid gold only until the 1912 Olympics. Since 1916 pure fools FIAT gold 😂🤣
