Paris 2024 reveals a special ‘medallist’ edition of its mascot, one of the gifts to be presented to medallists of the Paris 2024 Games

The Paris 2024 Games honour a longstanding tradition 

Winning a medal at the Olympic or Paralympic Games, stepping on the podium, hearing their country’s anthem is the ultimate goal of every qualified athlete who has been preparing for years to compete at the Paris 2024 Games. 

Whether gold, silver or bronze, the Olympic and Paralympic medals are traditionally always presented alongside one or several gifts during the victory ceremonies. 

In line with this tradition, each athlete awarded a medal at the Paris 2024 Games will receive, alongside their medal, a medallist mascot together with the Games’ Iconic Poster. For the Olympic Games, the poster will be presented during the victory ceremony, whereas the mascot will be presented after the ceremony, in the Village. For the Paralympic Games, the medallist mascots will be presented during the victory ceremony, whereas the Paralympic poster will be presented at a later stage. These gifts will be presented by 515 Paris 2024 Volunteers. 

As with the official mascots revealed in November 2022, Paris 2024 collaborated with Doudou & Compagnie Group, which manufactures and sells a proportion of the stuffed “Phryges” available across the network of official stores, to design a medallist version of the Phryges, now an iconic symbol of the Games. The Phryges are made in France, in the Doudou & Compagnie factory, located in La Guerche-de-Bretagne. The gold, silver or bronze colours are featured on the medal emblem, sewn on the mascot’s belly, on the mascot’s sneakers and on the letters spelling out “Bravo” on the back. 

There will be as many medallist mascots manufactured as there are medallists at the Paris 2024 Games. 

The Games’ Iconic Posters unveiled in March will also be presented to medal-winning athletes in their Olympic or Paralympic version. A limited celebration edition will be available to buy, with 2,024 prints to be put on sale from 25 July on the Paris 2024 online store.
