France Shatters Olympic Records: 64 Medals and the True Spirit of the Games Explored

Images from the reference sources
Discover how France achieved a record-breaking 64 medals at the Paris 2024 Olympics, the controversy surrounding athlete bonuses, and the deeper implications of the Olympic spirit in today's geopolitical landscape.

With a total of 64 medals - 16 gold, 26 silver and 22 bronze - at the Paris 2024 Games, France beats its record from the Beijing Games in 2008 (43 medals). Each podium is rewarded with a taxable sum of money: 80,000 euros for gold, 40,000 for silver and 20,000 for bronze.

“France does not understand the true Olympic spirit.” These words do not belong to any sports commentator who has traveled to Paris to broadcast the most important competition in world sport.
