Justin Rose has a special giveaway for his fans. The English golfer who won the gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics recently decided to give away his Olympic memorabilia to fans.
Rose conducted a contest on his X (formerly Twitter) account, asking people to share their favorite memories of the 2024 Paris Olympics in the comments section of his post. The best entry would win some rare Olympic memorabilia.
"Time for an @Olympics giveaway!! For a chance to win a signed 2016 Rio flag and a bottle of my Limited edition bottle of Gold Medal🍷, just RT and comment with your favourite Olympic moment in the last fourteen days in France. I’ll choose one winner Monday."
Golf returned to the Olympics for the first time in 2016 since 1904. Rose secured the gold medal for Great Britain at the Rio 2016 Games' men's event.
Xander Schauffele won gold at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics for the USA, and for the second time in a row, the USA secured the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, with Scottie Scheffler taking home the top prize. Great Britain's Tommy Fleetwood won silver.
What Olympic memories did fans share in response to Justin Rose’s post?
Fans were thrilled to have the chance to win Justin Rose's signed memorabilia from the 2016 Rio Olympics. As the English golfer announced the giveaway, fans in the comments section shared their favorite moments from the 2024 Paris Olympics.
One mentioned Tom Pidcock's gold medal win:
"Tom Pidcock’s gold in the mountain bike. The guy had a puncture and was 40 odd seconds behind. To win it on the last lap was incredible."
Another highlighted Lydia Ko’s achievement of completing a "medal slam" in Paris. The Kiwi won the gold medal in the women's golf event this year, adding to her silver from the Rio Olympics and bronze from Tokyo 2020. With this victory, Ko also secured her induction into the LPGA Hall of Fame.
"Lydia Ko completing the medal slam! 🥇🥈🥉 One of the greatest feats in golf. Peaking at the right time 12 years apart, on 3 different golf courses, on 3 continents, in her last Olympics. Also earns spot in LPGA Hall of Frame. Always been humble and acted with great integrity."
"Scottie Scheffler on the Gold medal platform overcome with patriotic emotion. Yes I'm an American and a Scottie fan, but every Olympic athlete should experience such overwhelming love for their country. I so appreciated the pride Justin Rose expressed winning the Gold. It was refreshing," a third fan said.
At the time of writing, Justin Rose has not disclosed the name of the winner. Meanwhile, the 44-year-old last played at the Wyndham Championship but missed the cut. However, he has earned a spot in the FedEx Cup playoffs and will tee off this week at the St. Jude Championship.
