Metal medals

Metal medals have long been a cherished symbol of achievement in the world of sports. Representing the culmination of dedication, skill, and perseverance, these tangible rewards honor athletes for their outstanding performances. Traditionally crafted from gold, silver and bronze, the hierarchy of medals reflects the ranking of competitors, with gold symbolising first place, silver representing second and bronze indicating third. Beyond their material composition, metal medals carry deep emotional and symbolic value, often becoming a source of pride and motivation for athletes worldwide.

A timeless tradition

To begin with, the tradition of awarding metal medals in sports dates back to the modern Olympic Games of 1896. At that time, organisers awarded silver medals to winners and gave bronze medals to runners-up. They introduced gold medals later, making them the universal standard for first-place awards. The use of precious metals highlights the prestige associated with athletic achievement. Moreover, these medals often feature intricate designs that commemorate the event, adding to their uniqueness and historical significance. As a result, they not only reward individual excellence but also serve as a lasting reminder of the event's cultural and historical context.
