Dear Hivers,
At this moment the winter olympics are in full swing with a range of sports. My favories are ice-hockey (men/women I favor Russia always) and this (rather new) adventure park thing on snowboards for athletes around 20 years!
Taking part is the sport but we all know people and teams wanna win a gold medal.
When you win a gold medal what exactly is included and what is it worth today?
Well this might surprise you. The gold medal is sterling silver plated with 6 gramms of pure gold. And six gramms of gold is 480 USD plus maybe 300 for the silver makes USD 780 for a gold medal.
"According to the International Olympic Committee, gold medals are required to be at least 92.5 percent silver, and are plated with about 6 grams of pure gold."
I hope they dp not hear this because they are gonna fight immediately!
Peace !
