    The tradition of winners biting their trophies or medals actually comes from the world of gold medals — back in the day, people would bite gold to test its authenticity since pure gold is soft enough to leave bite marks. Of course, today’s medals (like your typical marathon medal) aren’t made of solid gold, but the tradition stuck around as a playful photo pose for athletes and winners. Whether you’re crossing the finish line at a marathon or celebrating a big win at any event, that bite-the-medal moment has become a symbol of victory and pure joy!
