路Paris spent $1.5 billion to make the Seine safe to swim in, and here we are. By next spring Parisians will be legally allowed to swim in the river for the first time in 100 years. Oh boy.

路The W49kg session was incredible. Hou Zhihui nailing the last lift to win by 1kg after she missed it on her 2nd attempt. Not often she shows any emotion on the platform but afterwards she was pumped.

路Really good final in 80kg (I think that ~ light-heavy) men's boxing: Khyzhniak of Ukraine just shaded it, probably on sheer workrate and aggression over Oralbay of Kazakhstan. Great work from two classy fighters.

路My wife is laughing at me because I'm constantly annoyed at the stupid boxes that the athletes are holding on the podium. It just looks so tacky.

路The Olympic athletes are given this poster, which a guest version can be purchased here. The athletes do receive a unique version of this poster that cannot be purchased.
I emphasized Olympic, as this poster is only one half of the entire scene. There are two posters, which can work independent of each other, or work together to create an entire scene.
The Paralympic athletes will receive a poster as well, which is essentially the second half of the scene, and a guest version can be purchased here.
Placing the two prints together will complete the entire scene
Edit: clarification

Very cute but not very accurate, perhaps with one exception is that a pocket of raw sewage bottom left?

These are posters that you cannot buy, as they have a seal embossed on them in the colour of the medal that was won by the athlete. The medal winners are also given another small gift in a small ceremony at the athletes village, which also had a corresponding colour associated to the medal that they won.
Giving gifts at the medal ceremony along with the medals, is quite common. Often it is some flowers, but can be plush toys, and in this case the posters that only medal winners get.

路I'm sure it's a nice gift, I just think it looks really cheesy and awkward for them to be holding what visually appears to be a cardboard box while they are standing on the podium. On multiple occasions, I've seen athletes awkwardly trying to figure out what to do with the box as they want to wave or applaud, etc. in their big moment in front of the camera. They sometimes end up tucking it under their arm. Just my opinion.
