Sharing Moments of Victory from the Podium Firsthand
One of the most memorable and unforgettable experiences an athlete may have been standing atop the Olympic and Paralympic podium at the medal ceremony and accomplishing a dream that has been a lifelong ambition. Because athletes are not allowed to bring personal items to the ceremony, including cell phones, the view has always been taken from a distance rather than via the athlete’s own lens and has only ever been photographed by authorized media.
For the first time in the history of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Samsung will make the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition available to competitors on the podium in Paris 2024, allowing them to capture their personal feelings and memories with a fresh celebration selfie. Athletes will be able to preserve and share their memorable experiences with family and friends thanks to Samsung’s specialized technology, which will map and categorize their selfies by sport and post them to Athlete365 in real-time.
Starting on July 12, Samsung exhibits at the Olympic sites, including Champs-Elysees 125, will feature the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition. Beginning on July 18, competitors will get their Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition from Samsung in association with the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and the IOC.
