‘Rare moments when I get to hold it’: Novak Djokovic reveals his kids slept with his Olympic gold medal

Novak Djokovic is finally an Olympic gold medalist. All the odds were stacked against him when he played his second final of the season on Sunday (August 4). But a determined Djokovic, chasing his first gold in his possible last Olympics, beat Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz 7-6(3), 7-6(2) in Paris to script history. 

Even though he has been going out wearing the medal in Paris, he doesn’t get enough chances to hold the coveted prize, thanks to his kids. In a recent interview, Djokovic was asked whether, like many athletes, he too slept with the medal.
