RR Auction: Olympic Auction

Auction Details

As the world prepared to celebrate the Rio Games last July, RR Auction hosted its second Olympic showcase. With records set and promptly broken, the success encouraged us to present a third installment to kick off the new year. Representing over a century of competition, this new auction maps the modern Olympic pathway with a diverse, in-demand selection of the rare and remarkable. Highlighted by a wealth of historical rarities dating back to the first modern Olympics held in Athens in 1896, some of the most significant items are: a rare 1988 Calgary torch, a massive 1936 Garmisch bronze winner’s medal, a spectacular relay torch from the 1956 Cortina Winter Games, a complete set of winner’s medals from the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, a 1948 St. Moritz silver winner’s medal from the first post–World War II games, and a 2000 Sydney silver winner’s medal.
