The Winners Come Last

There’s not much gold in a gold medal. It’s one of those famous misnomers, like a peanut not actually being a nut and how we drive on parkways and park on driveways. Since gold is expensive (duh) and making a substantially-weighted pure-gold medal for all 98 winners at the Winter Olympics would cost more than $2 million, a combination of metals is used to create Sochi golds
