It's probably not a coincidence that, prior to 1913 when the US Federal Reserve was founded, Olympic gold medals were made of solid gold.
They've been gold-plated silver since then.
A travesty, just like in so many other areas like boxing.
The Olympic Games cost approximately 15.4 billion, and yet they don't have a bit of spare change for real medals
sounds like a good metaphor for the central bank era
Point of clarification — there were only a few of Olympic games before 1913. Wikipedia says only 3 games (1904, 1908, 1912) awarded pure gold medals and “they were smaller”.
Larger & crappier sums up fiat world nicely.
all that medal biting couldn't reveal this 1 weird fact, eh?
The oylimpics is another UN mandated shitshow to create one world cbdc
They also didnt have handball
