The Olympic medal ceremony is among the most emotional and memorable moments for athletes as they understand a lifelong dream. However, the occasion has historically been photographed by accredited media solely — captured from a distance and never from the athlete’s personal lens.
Not anymore. In the spirit of a ‘Games Wide Open’ at Paris 2024, Samsung helps athletes create and share new, extra private recollections of the celebration atop the rostrum with the Victory Selfie powered by Galaxy.
In an Olympic Games first, medalists at Paris 2024 have been documenting their ceremonies from their very own perspective as they had been handed the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition on the rostrum to take their Victory Selfie after receiving their Olympic medals. The selfies have been uploaded routinely and wirelessly to the Athlete365 portal so athletes can share their moments on a complete new degree — completely aligning with Samsung’s perception that ‘Open always wins’ and that openness creates new views and infinite potentialities.
“To be able to share 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,” mentioned 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 among the finest photographs from the Paris 2024 medal ceremonies under. The new Victory Selfie program will proceed all through the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
