When they make history at the Paris Games, Olympic medalists will take a bit of France and its history home, too.

    They were cut from girders and other bits that were swapped out of the Eiffel Tower during renovations

    I can’t believe they tore it down just for some games.

      It’s lasted long enough. It’s time they replace it with a planet Hollywood

    Maybe the reason that the leaning tower of pisa is leaning is because they chipped away too much for their medals and they forgot about symmetry.

    So what I am reading is if I go win every medal. I can build my own Eiffel Tower. Thus making the one in Paris a replica.

    In my whole long life, this is the only thing that’s inspired me to compete in and win something at the Olympics.
