I often wonder, when watching the Olympics, why over the years have the awards remained bronze, silver, and gold? There are more precious metals than gold that exist, so why is that still the top prize medal? Why not change with the times and make the top award, say, platinum? A gold award has been given as the top medal received for as long as the Olympics have been in existence, which reminded me of an old saying, ?if it's not broke, don't fix it?.
