Paris 2024, The Olympic medal ceremony is a truly unforgettable experience for athletes, filled with overwhelming emotions as they see their lifelong dreams come true. Nevertheless, the event has historically been documented exclusively by authorised media, with photos taken from a distance rather than by the athletes themselves.
No longer the case. Embracing the concept of a ‘Games Wide Open’ at Paris 2024, Samsung is lending a hand to athletes in capturing and exchanging unique and intimate moments of triumph on the podium with the Victory Selfie powered by Galaxy.
For the first time in Olympic Games history, Paris 2024, the athletes at Paris 2024 are capturing their medal ceremonies from a unique angle. As they stand on the podium, they are handed the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition, allowing them to take a Victory Selfie to commemorate their momentous achievement of receiving an Olympic medal. The selfies have been effortlessly and seamlessly uploaded to the Athlete365 portal, allowing athletes to share their experiences in a whole new way. This aligns perfectly with Samsung’s philosophy of embracing openness, which fosters new perspectives and endless possibilities.
“To be able to share the moment of achieving my dream of winning a medal with my fans, family and friends around the world — through my own perspective — was incredible,” said Team Samsung Galaxy member Rayssa Leal (Skateboarding, Brazil). “It not only amplified a moment I’ll never forget but also celebrated the camaraderie beyond the competition as my fellow medalists and I took the Victory Selfie together on the podium.”
Samsung Newsroom picked some of the best shots from the Paris 2024 medal ceremonies below. The new Victory Selfie program will continue throughout the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
