The winners at the Summer Olympics will be putting on their own medals this year.
The president of the International Olympic Committee told the media today that medals "will not be given around the neck," due to the coronavirus pandemic in Tokyo. Instead, president Thomas Bach says the medals will be presented on a tray to the three athletes on the podium.
They will take it from there and hang the medals around their own necks in front of the empty stands. A state of emergency has been imposed in Tokyo because of a surge in new COVID-19 cases, and no spectators will be allowed at this year's games.
