Olympic Gold Medalists Ring Bell Destined for Notre-Dame

Paris 2024 winners celebrate by ringing a special bell, which will be installed in the restored cathedral after the Games.

The bell, engraved with the Paris 2024 emblem, is rung exclusively by gold medalists as a mark of their victory.
After the Olympics and Paralympics, the bell will be moved to Notre-Dame Cathedral, which is set to reopen in December 2024.
The bell was crafted by the Cornille Havard Bell Foundry in Normandy, known for making bells for Notre-Dame a decade ago.
Notre-Dame's restoration follows a devastating fire in 2019, with the new bell symbolizing peace and fraternity.
Athletes like Noah Lyles and Keely Hodgkinson have already rung the bell, adding to its historic significance.
