Yaroslava Mahuchikh, the bronze medal winner, is currently taking a victory lap at the Stade de France alongside her teammate, Iryna Gerashchenko. As they make their way around the stadium, Mahuchikh is given the opportunity to ring the victory bell, a symbolic gesture of celebration and achievement.
The victory bell, located in the northern end of the stadium, is a replica of the bells found in Paris' iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral. This bell will eventually find its place in the historic church, adding to its significance and history. The tradition of ringing the victory bell was initiated during the recent rugby sevens tournament held at the stadium and has since become a cherished custom among the winners.
During track events, it is the gold medalists who are granted the honor of ringing the bell. Mahuchikh, filled with joy and pride, joyfully rang the bell before continuing her lap around the stadium alongside her fellow medalist, Gerashchenko.
