Talk about an Olympian effort.
In a move that was pure gold, Polish discus thrower Piotr Malachowski turned his silver medal from Rio into cold cash, placing it up for auction to help pay for a 3-year-old boy's treatment for eye cancer.
According to ESPN.com, the online auction — with a goal of raising $84,000 — ended three days early after a Polish brother and sister worth billions paid the goal amount Tuesday when the bidding was at roughly $19,000.
Malachowski was raising the money so Olek Szymanski could undergo surgery in New York for retinoblastoma in an effort to save his eyesight.
