Two months before Paris 2024, the official podiums of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The eco-sustainable podiums, created by Le Pavé, Global Concept e Giffardwill be used for both the Olympic Games from 26 July to 11 August and the Paralympic Games from 28 August to 8 September 2024.
The podiums will be grey, designed not to obscure the uniforms of the male and female athletes, and will be used for all 329 award ceremonies of the Olympic Games and all 549 award ceremonies of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
“For an athlete, reaching the podium is a moment of pride, emotion and final success: you put the medal around your neck and, in an instant, the dream becomes reality. You enter the history of the Games,” said the President of Paris 2024 Tony Estanguet.
“We are delighted to reveal the podiums for the Paris 2024 Games, whose design follows the path of our medals with a piece of the Eiffel Tower surrounding them, inspired by the lines and curves of the work of the great French architect Gustave Eiffel.”
“When you win a medal at the Games it will feel a bit like you are climbing to the roof of the world, so at least the athletes will be on the roof of Paris with this gray that recalls the color of the Parisian roofs.”
“With these podiums manufactured in France from French wood and 100% recycled plastic, we offer athletes a true stage where they will be proud to stand and wear the colors of their country, watched by the whole world,” he added.
