Awards ceremonies
As of right now we’re still planning to change the positions of the winners at awards ceremonies so that American medallists always stand on the higher, central podium, regardless of whether they got the gold, silver or bronze. The extra height makes for better pictures, and reflects American resolve and strength in the face of difficult challenges. Even though the medals themselves won’t change, the IOC is not too happy about these arrangements. However the network is involved in ongoing negotiations with IOC members at the security checkpoint where they’re being held.
