00:00The gold medal of the Olympic Games can only be considered as gold,
00:02not pure gold.
00:04The metal content in the gold medal is more than 90% pure silver.
00:07It's okay if you don't understand.
00:08It's useless even if you understand.
00:09What's the point of understanding?
00:10According to the regulations of the International Olympic Committee,
00:12the gold medal must contain 92.5% of high-quality pure silver,
00:15with about 6 grams of gold on the surface.
00:18This design maintains the sense of importance of the medal,
00:20and ensures the reasonable use of cost and resources,
00:23and continues from 1912 to today.
00:26As for the silver medal, it must have at least 92.5% of silver.
00:30Most of the bronze medals are bronze.
00:31All medals must be round,
00:33with a diameter of at least 60 mm,
00:34and a thickness of 3 mm, and a weight limit.
00:36The host country of each Olympic Games
00:38must comply with these regulations,
00:39but can decide the style of the medal on their own.
00:42For example, the medal design of the Paris Olympic Games and the World Championships
00:45is combined with the iconic Eiffel Tower in France.
00:48The middle part of the medal,
00:50that hexagonal piece of metal material,
00:52is actually the original iron used to build the Eiffel Tower,
00:55which is particularly meaningful.
