Olympic Medals

Olympic medals are awards given to athletes based on their performance in events during the Olympic Games. There are three types: gold for first place, silver for second, and bronze for third. These medals symbolize achievement and excellence in sport, awarded after rigorous competitions involving the world’s top athletes. Winning a medal brings recognition, pride, and often national honor. Medals are made of precious metals—gold medals are primarily gold-plated, silver medals are made of pure silver, and bronze medals are composed of a bronze alloy. They serve as lasting symbols of athletic excellence and dedication.
