Jeweler to the stars, Johnny Dang & Co., may soon face the task of adorning the mouths of dozens of gymnasts, swimmers, runners and so on. TMZ reports that Dang associate, Paul Wall, has been feeling patriotic since the U.S.A. completed it's dominance over the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio, offering up a complimentary jewelry piece to any of the nation's athletes whose performance added to the U.S. 121 medal total. Whether you are a gold, silver, or bronze winner doesn't matter; if you finished top three in your competition, might claim a custom made gold grill, courtesy of the Houston rapper who helped popularize the accessory in the mid-2000's.
The U.S. finished the international competition with 46 gold, 37 silver, and 38 bronze medal's to it's name. The most medals were won in swimming, followed by track and field, then gymnastics. Olympic great, Michael Phelps led the pack with five gold and one silver. He was followed by fellow swimmer Katie Ledecky, who won four gold and a silver medal, and gymnastics phenom Simone Biles who also won four gold medals to go with a bronze. More than 100 U.S. competitors return to the states with a medal.
Each grill will reportedly be made out of 18k gold, and will bear the 2016 Olympics logo etched front and center. "Dear 2016 Olympians: We are proud to watch you representing the US while you compete in Rio. To commemorate and congratulate the Gold, Silver or Bronze medal winners, we at Johnny Dang & Co. Houston would like to offer you all a free gold grill," a letter sent out to the athletes from Dang & Co. reads. "Please enjoy your tremendous accomplishment, and contact us at your earliest convenience to receive your free gold grill."
