With the 2024 Paris Olympics in full swing and athletes racking up medals, there is one thing that is leaving fans with questions: what's in the gold box the medal winners are getting on the podium?
Jessica Fox, who competed in Canoe Slalom for Australia, took to her social media accounts to show her followers what they received on the podium after winning her gold medal.
In her video, Fox unboxes an official "athlete edition" of the Olympic poster.
"Usually, we get the mascot or flowers," Fox told her followers. "This time, it's a little bit more unique, and I think it's a really cool concept."
The poster, is the official poster for the 2024 Paris Olympics and it's designed by French artist Ugo Gattoni, according the Olympics.com.
