    It’s estimated that the value of a gold medal is around $1 million in terms of economic impact, considering factors like increased tourism, sponsorship, and national pride.

      Please do provide actual evidence for that claim. Specifically for a gold medal in women’s boxing.

        I found that statistic on Bing. You can too.
