Philippe Starck designs shareable medal for Paris 2024 Olympic bid

Philippe Starck has designed a revolutionary Olympic medal concept for Paris's 2024 bid, unveiled on July 11, 2017, in Lausanne before 89 IOC members, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo. The medal, called "da condividere" (to share), consists of four identical magnetic discs that can be separated, allowing the winner to give three pieces to supporters like coaches, family, and friends. Starck previously designed the Olympic torch for the 1992 Albertville Winter Games. The concept challenges traditional individualism in sports, embracing a sharing ethos. Paris is widely expected to win the 2024 bid, with Los Angeles selected for 2028, but IOC confirmation and official approval of Starck's design are still pending.
