The Olympics are coming ! The Olympics are coming ! And even if it ’s only the Winter Olympics , it ’s still fun to see countries who know nothing about each other put on coloured spandex to beat each other up for medals . But did you know that the gold medal is actually made from silver ? Or that the bronze ribbon is only valued at 4 bucks ? Watch and con some other Olympic facts in the video above .
AsapSCIENCE put together a lean of factsabout the Olympics before the Olympics to get you more educated about the game . Like how since 1912 , there has n’t been a “ existent ” atomic number 79 medal only a superlative silver decoration doused with 6 grams of gold . Or how the bronze medal is made from fuzz and can . Or how in the first Olympian games of the modern era , the 1896 Olympics , silver grey medallion and an olive branch were given to the first billet winner , bronze medallion were given to the second place winner and nothing was yield to third spot .
