Gold is taken from the mines and transported by truck to the different industry factories. From there on, it is used and made into something we use like jewellery, medals, prizes, etc.

in ancient greece the olympics were diffrent because they didnt win any medals, because the won olive branches insted of gold, silveer and bronze medals.
It was much more popular thousands of years ago for jewelry, but bronze jewelry is now mostly medals, like Olympic medals and such. Gold jewelry is sometimes strengthened with bronze.
The medals, designed by David Watkins measure just over 3 inches across and weigh close to a pound. They are the largest medals ever awarded at the Summer Games. Gold medals contain just 1% gold. The remaining metal mix is silver 92.5% and about 6% copper, which puts the material price under $650. Silver medals are mandated by the International Olympic Committee to contain at least 550 grams of "high quality silver." Despite the mandate and the rising price of silver, the second-place medals are worth about half of the gold medals. Bronze medals (like the one dented in a bizarre shower accident by Brazil's Felipe Kitadai) are made up of 97% copper, 2.5% zinc, and .5% tin. Based on current market prices, the raw value of the materials in the medals would bring less than $5.00.
The winners win medals (gold silver bronze) just like everybody else
