#Onthisday they became the smallest nation ever to win a gold in a team event at the Games.

😓 + 💪 + Internet = Medal 

A medal like no other! 👂👉👈 These Paralympic winners are listening to their medals. For the first time ever, the Paralympic Games have placed a device inside the medals that use tiny steel balls to make a sound when they are shaken, allowing visually impaired athletes to identify which type they are. The bronze medals have 16 steel balls and make the lowest sound. The silver ones have 20 balls and the golds have 28, producing the loudest noise. All of the medals also have the words "Rio 2016 Paralympic Games" written on them in Braille. Awesome!

103 years ago today a legend was born: Jesse Owens.
