PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE WORLD HAVE DESCENDED ON THE OFFICIAL PIN TRADING CENTER AT OLYMPIC PARK.
THE PINS COME IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES.
FOR SOME... THESE PINS ARE A MUST-HAVE SOUVENIR.
PIN TRADING HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS THE NUMBER ONE SPECTATOR SPORT AT THE GAMES SINCE 1988.
OLYMPIC PINS DATE ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE OLYMPICS IN ATHENS IN 1896, WHEN SMALL CARDBOARD DISCS WERE USED TO IDENTIFY ATHLETES AND JUDGES.
