The 2024 Summer Olympics may be over, but Ariana Ramsey isn’t done celebrating.

Hot off her success at the Paris Games, the rugby player, 24, stepped out for a red carpet date night with her boyfriend, paralympic athlete Noah Malone, at the Jackpot premiere in Los Angeles. And she styled her look with a special accessory — her Olympics medal!

Ramsey — who earned her first bronze on July 30 when Team USA beat out Australia — accessorized her look with the medal worn proudly around her neck.

She proudly displayed the medal, which decorated her shimmery, low-cut gown, on the carpet. She even wore an oversize metallic scrunchie with her blonde braids and glittery gold eyeshadow to drive the theme home.

After her tournament win, Ramsey stuck around Paris to take in the sights and watch other athletes, as one naturally does when they get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compete in the Olympics. What was possibly unexpected of her plans was that they also involved scheduling a year’s worth of medical appointments at the free polyclinic in the Olympic Village.

She documented her experience on TikTok and later went viral. The tea? All athletes received free healthcare while competing during the sporting event. 

“Not only in the Village do we have free food but we have free dental, free healthcare,” Ramsey in a clip that has since garnered over 150K views as of writing. “I quite literally love it here. The way the Olympic village has free healthcare.”

She added that she had gotten a pap smear free of charge and also penciled in a dentist appointment and eye exam (which came with a new pair of glasses) for the following week. 

Sports Illustrated reported more details on the benefits, noting that the Olympic Village has offered athletes and their delegations free healthcare since the 1932 Los Angeles Games.
