Gold Or Silver Metalicbath Tub Matts Why Were Gold Silver And Bronze Chosen As The Colors Of Rewards For The Olympic Medals?

Why were gold silver and bronze chosen as the colors of rewards for the Olympic medals? - gold or silver metalicbath tub matts

Please no answers as to the value and demand for gold to go is the most demand because it is the most brilliant silver metallic pigments, and they wanted because it was the second brightest and the bronze to the third and last. Is there a story? What is history? Who chose these colors and why were they selected? Please make the story or left long and not endless, with many words. Make it as short as possible. I'm curious.

  1. The term refers to a winner in the modern Olympic Games, because they received medals in the old games. In 1896, the winners received a silver medal, second place received a bronze medal. In 1900, most of the winners received cups or trophies instead of medals.

    The usual sequence of gold-silver-bronze for the dates of the three best games of 1904 and has been adopted by many other sporting events.

    Traditionally, the medals are made of metals following:

    1. Gold (or another yellow metal, eg brass)
    2. Silver (or another metal gray, eg, steel)
    3. Bronze

    These metals denote the first three ages of man in Greek mythology: the golden age when humans lived among the gods, the Silver Age, which lasted one hundred years young, and the Bronze Age, the era of heroes. (The present is the Iron Age.) Please note that the metals are more prone to corrosion.

    In a tournament a few sports such as boxing and judo, two bronze medals awarded in each case - one for each eliminated sEMI-finalist or winner of the playoff brackets.
