Olympic Pin Trading

Olympic pin trading is a cherished tradition among athletes, spectators, and collectors during the Olympic Games. It involves exchanging collectible pins that feature designs related to the Olympics, such as logos, mascots, sports disciplines, and national flags. These pins can be highly sought after, with some becoming rare and valuable over time.

The practice started at the first modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896, where athletes and officials used pins to identify their roles. Over the years, it has evolved into a social and cultural phenomenon. Pin trading booths are often set up in the Olympic Village and various venues, where enthusiasts can gather to trade and share stories.

Participants enjoy the sense of community and camaraderie that comes with pin trading, and it serves as a way to commemorate their Olympic experience. Some collectors travel to multiple Olympic Games to add to their collections and meet fellow pin traders from around the world.
