Olympic stories in medals for Winter Games

The Straits Times

|

July 17, 2025

The Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics organisers unveiled on July 15 the medals that will be awarded to athletes during the Games.

The medals have the traditional Olympic five-ring symbol on one side, with an inscription on the reverse that details the event and commemorates the venue.

The same format has been used for the Paralympics, which have their own distinct symbol.

They were presented at a ceremony in Venice that featured two celebrated retired Italian athletes, former Olympic swimmer Federica Pellegrini and Francesca Porcellato, who has won gold medals at both the Winter and Summer Paralympics.
