First medal of the modern Olympics was given in 1896

Medalist's name on the stadium wall
When a player raises the flag of his country in the Olympics and comes on the podium, he is honored by giving the Olympic mascot and bouquet along with the most prestigious medal, which the winner brings back to his country, but very few people would know that in the stadium where that player created history and won the medal, that player's name gets engraved on those walls.
