Medals presented at the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris will have added significance as metal from the iconic Eiffel Tower will be included in their production.

Located in the capital city of Paris, the Tower, ranked as one of the “Seven Wonders Of The World,” is the most identifiable symbol of French history and culture.

The Olympic Games announced the incorporation of material from the structure on Thursday.

“For Paris 2024, the decision was made to combine one of the strongest symbols of the Olympic Games – the medals – with the most iconic symbol of the French nation – the Eiffel Tower.”

The release also noted that the material to be used for the composition of the Olympic medals will come from the original development and not from the current structure.

“For the first time in the history of the Olympic Games, every Olympic and Paralympic medal will be adorned with a highly symbolic and invaluable piece of metal: the original iron used in the construction of the Eiffel Tower.”

“During the 20th century, work was undertaken to modernise the elevators of the Eiffel Tower. As a result, sections of the tower were permanently removed from the Iron Lady and carefully preserved.”

The news comes shortly after the reveal of the final design of the medal on Thursday morning.
