The medal counts are ticking up, with dozens of golds awarded so far to countries including Slovenia, New Zealand, Germany and China.
But how much is a gold medal worth?
According to the International Olympic Committee, gold medals are required to be at least 92.5 percent silver, and are plated with about 6 grams of pure gold.
A spokesman from the Beijing 2022 committee confirmed that this year’s gold medal follows those regulations. That works out to be $758 worth of gold and silver in those medals, according to Philip Newman, a founding partner and managing director of Metals Focus, a London-based research firm.
