(CNN) Olympians taking part in Tokyo 2020 are competing for a chance to write a page in the history books -- and hopefully bring home a medal. If you do win a medal -- be it gold, silver or bronze -- they're pretty much priceless. Former British heptathlete Kelly Sotherton, who won a bronze in heptathlon at Athens 2004 and another for the 4 x 400-meter relay at Beijing 2008, told CNN Sport that her medals are a reminder of how her hard work and effort paid off. "I would never sell my medals," Sotherton told CNN Sport on Friday. Sotherton said she keeps her medals accessible rather than putting them up in a frame.
