The Olympic Games Paris 2024 marked a new chapter for the medal ceremony with the first-ever Victory Selfie. Olympians were able to come together with their fellow medalists and, through their own lens, capture and share the life-changing moment when they received their medals on the podium with the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition.
In collaboration with the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) — and continuing the spirit of Paris 2024’s “Games Wide Open” slogan — Samsung Electronics introduced a new take on the fan favorite Victory Selfie for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games to give Paralympians a chance to share their own epic memories with fans around the world.
To ensure the best experience for athletes, the moment took place in a more intimate setting in the Mixed Zone at select competitions including Para Taekwondo, Para Athletics and more.
Paralympians from around the world came together to once again celebrate the camaraderie behind the competition and pose with their competitors, to create a moment they will never forget with Galaxy. The pictures were automatically uploaded to the Athlete365 app, so that Paralympians could share them with family, friends and fans worldwide.
