The Paris 2024 Olympics took place from July 26 to August 11, 2024, in Paris, France, marking the third time the city has hosted the Summer Olympics.

A total of 220 requests have been made to replace medals won at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, due to damage and tarnishing. The medals, designed by French luxury jeweller Chaumet, feature a piece of iron from the Eiffel Tower, but some athletes, including British diver Yasmin Harper and American skateboarder Nyjah Huston, noticed defects. Paris 2024 organisers have promised to replace damaged medals, with the French Mint already receiving 220 requests, equivalent to four percent of the total awarded.
