6th of April, 1896. James B. Connolly from the United States stands at the run of the Athens Stadium, getting ready for his Olympic triple jump. After taking the in-run and performing – in his style – two reflections from the right leg (the technique is not allowed today) outjumps his nearest rival by over a meter, setting the marker at 13.71m. James Connolly wins the first Olympic honor in modern history and the first Olympic silver medal that was awarded to the best at that time.
For medals in the full set of three podium places we know today, in traditional gold, silver, and bronze, athletes had to wait until the 1904 Olympic Games in St. Louis. The first Olympic glory for Poland came after recovering the independence. Twenty years after Athens Olympics Adam Królikiewicz brought a bronze medal in individual horse jumping competition from the Summer Olympic Games in Paris.
This his how the history of modern sports awards sets begins, but a lot has changed since Connolly and Królikiewicz. How much exactly? Let’s just say that for the 2020 Paralympics Games in Tokio about 5,000 medals were prepared. The materials came from the old electronic devices, donated by the citizens of Japan.
