In a delightful twist on Olympic tradition, medal winners at the Paris Games are getting more than just the medals they've won for so long. Along with the prestigious prizes, the athletes receive a 40 cm long cardboard box, the contents of which have aroused intrigue and curiosity.
Inside these boxes, athletes find a vibrant and detailed poster depicting the Paris games, a unique piece of art that serves as a special memento of their Olympic journey. The poster, created by Parisian illustrator Ugo Gattoni, offers a bird's-eye view of the games, showing athletes in action, spectators, statues and many other intricate details. One such detail is a sign that says “XXXIII Olympiad”, marking the 33rd edition of the games.
Gattoni reportedly spent over 2,000 hours over five months creating this masterpiece. He shared that the idea came to him instantly, and he had a clear vision of the Paris stadium he wanted to portray. The final piece includes various elements such as buildings, shadows, the Tahiti wave, and even a representation of Marseille.
The poster is not just a work of art, but the official poster of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris. While it has been available for public purchase, Olympians are getting a special edition. Depending on the medal they have won, the poster they receive is detailed in gold, silver or bronze, making it a truly personalized and cherished memento of their achievement.
