Sporting events such as the Olympics are known to create memorable moments and give rise to trends that turn into traditions. For instance, swapping jerseys remains a tradition in soccer while athletes in the Olympics are known to bite their medals as part of a custom. As the internet buzzes with interesting updates from the Paris 2024 Olympics, one thing that grabbed huge attention is the "Olympic pin trading" trend. Not only athletes but also staff and sports fans are ardently collecting and trading various countries' pins and showing them off on social media. Apart from the official country pins, specialized pins from sponsors, hosting cities, and even athletes themselves are being traded. Turns out, this tradition is not that new and goes all the way back to the 1896 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, as per CBS Sunday Morning producer Roman Feeser.
