The auction features nearly 400 rare and historic lots spanning over 90 years of Games history. Bidding concludes July 17.<\/p>\n<p>A major highlight of the sale,\u00a0<strong>The Greg Louganis Collection<\/strong>, offers an extraordinary glimpse into the career of one of the greatest divers of all time. The collection includes Louganis\u2019s silver medal from the 1976 Montreal Games, awarded to a then-16-year-old Louganis in the 10-meter platform event\u2014a performance that signaled the arrival of a generational talent. Also featured are two gold medals: the 1984 Los Angeles gold for 3-meter springboard, and the 1988 Seoul gold for 10-meter platform\u2014claimed just days after Louganis suffered a head injury during preliminaries, in one of the most courageous comebacks in Olympic history.<\/p>\n<p>Another centerpiece of the auction is a spectacular\u00a0<strong>gold medal from the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics<\/strong>, awarded in track and field. The medal features a gilded silver design inset with original ironwork from the Eiffel Tower\u2014an homage to France\u2019s cultural and architectural heritage. It is offered alongside its matching torch, with a sleek rose-gold finish and wave-inspired fluting, and the official poster from Paris 2024, reflecting the Art Deco influences of the host city.<\/p>\n<p>Other standout lots include a gold winner\u2019s medal from the Torino 2006 Winter Olympics, awarded to a member of the Swedish national ice hockey team. At the time, this gilt silver medal was the largest ever issued and featured an innovative open-center design, symbolically meant to rest over the athlete\u2019s heart. Sweden\u2019s 3\u20132 victory over Finland in the gold medal match was secured by a game-winning goal from defenseman <strong>Nicklas Lidstr\u00f6m<\/strong> just 10 seconds into the third period.<\/p>\n<p>Additional Olympic winner\u2019s medals in the sale include a gold from Mexico City 1968 for fencing, a gold from Munich 1972 for men\u2019s rowing, a gold from London 1908 for field hockey, and bronze medals from Paris 2024 (women\u2019s canoeing), Rome 1960 (shooting), and Nagano 1998 (ski jumping).<\/p>\n<p>Among the rarest items in the sale is the official\u00a0<strong>torch from the Oslo 1952 Winter Olympics<\/strong>\u2014the first-ever Winter Games to feature a torch relay. Only 95 were produced, making it one of the most coveted torches in Olympic history. Equally scarce is the Grenoble 1968 torch, one of just 33 ever made, crafted from rose-gold bronze alloy with a distinctive red felt-wrapped grip. The flame\u2019s passage through the French Alps, including a historic stop at Chamonix, adds further significance.<\/p>\n<p>Other highlights include the Sapporo 1972 Winter Olympics torch\u2014a minimalist industrial masterpiece by designer <strong>Sori Yanagi<\/strong>\u2014accompanied by its original instruction sheet. Additional torches from Los Angeles 1984, Nagano 1998, and Salt Lake City 2002 showcase unique design elements that capture the spirit of their respective Games. Rounding out the visual spectacle is the imposing 60-inch Lillehammer 1994 torch, one of the largest torches ever produced, constructed of wood, iron, and copper in a sculptural Nordic form symbolizing harmony between tradition and innovation.<\/p>\n<p>The auction offers collectors a sweeping visual and historical journey through Olympic history, from the 1936 Berlin torch relay to rare participation medals, official posters, and winner\u2019s diplomas.<\/p>\n<p>Bidding closes Thursday, July 17.
