At the Olympic Games, athletes are awarded Olympic medals for individual success or participation in team competitions.
In addition, Olympic medals are considered a badge of distinction and additional attributes that are used by the IOC to popularize the idea of the modern world Olympic movement.
Set of Olympic medals
There is such a gradation of Olympic medals: in case of victory (I place), a gold medal is awarded, for the second result in the competition (II place) – a silver medal, and for the third result (III place) – a bronze medal.
Their totality was called the "set of Olympic awards" At the time of the ancient Greek Olympic Games, medals were not used – the distinctive signs were: an olive wreath, palm branches, large amounts of gold coins, honors and privileges, or the kingdom of the ruler Endymion, which he played between his sons.
For the first time, the tradition of honoring the winners of international Games with medals was adopted at the First Olympic Congress in 1894.
At the competitions in 1896, in case of victory in the competitions in one of the Olympic sports, the winner was awarded silver medals with the corresponding diploma and an olive branch.
The" first " medals were round in shape with the image of Zeus and Nika, and on the back of the award you could see the famous Acropolis.
At the Second Summer Olympics in Paris, rectangular medals were awarded, the only case in the history of Olympic medals.
In 1904, in the United States, the medals again "became round", retaining this shape to this day.
Throughout the history of the development of Olympic medals, images of the thunderer Zeus, the Victory of Nika, St. George, the silhouettes of the graces, the heroes of the host country of the Olympic Games were replaced on their backs (for example, in Sweden, the silhouette of Ling, in Belgium the silhouette of Brabo Silvius).
From 1928 to 2000, the Olympic medals depicted Nika with a palm branch and fans who honored the winner with a "swing on their hands".
Since 2004, the image has changed – on the medals, the goddess of victory Nika, walking through the Panathinaikos Stadium, carries the victory in her hands to the athletes.
Since 2008, jade has been included in the composition of the medal, a special case, a ribbon and a certificate are issued to it.
The Olympic medal for the championship is actually made of silver and has only six grams of pure gold in its composition.
