For the first time at the Olympic Games, Samsung has also provided medalists the opportunity to capture their memories. While the media have exclusively photographed the Olympic medal ceremony, medalists are now documenting their own ceremonies with the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition, capturing the perfect commemoration with a Victory Selfie. This adds a personal touch and unique perspective to what is already an incredibly emotional moment for athletes.
