You Know What about Medal?

The medals are the certificates issued to the winners of various competitions. They are generally made of metal. The sports competitions generally can be divided into gold, silver and bronze medals corresponding to the first place, second place and third place.

Origin

The Olympics, Asian Games and individual world championships all award gold, silver and bronze medals to winners of the competition. However, a long time ago, the winner of the sports competition received a prize, which was a circle woven with olive tree laurel branches, namely the "laurel crown". In 1465, at a recreation event held in Zurich, Switzerland, the winner of the triple jump project was awarded a gold medal. This may be the first time that the winner has not been given the “laurel crown”. At the first Olympic Games held in 1895, the winners were also awarded with “laurel crown”.

It was not until 1907 that the IOC officially issued a resolution on the Olympics gold medals, Olympics silver medals and Olympics bronze medals  for the winners of the Olympic Games at the Executive Committee in The Hague, the Netherlands, which was implemented at the 4th London Olympics.

Since the 8th Paris Olympic Games in 1924, the IOC has further made the following additional decision: In addition to awarding  sport medal of honor , the winners will also get certificates .

It was decided to make specific provisions on the design and production of gold, silver and bronze medals: the medals of the first, second and third place are not less than 60 mm in diameter and 3 mm in thickness. Among them, the first prize and the second prize medals are made of silver, the purity (silver content) is not less than 92.5%, and the surface of the first prize medal (gold medal) is plated with at least 6 grams of pure gold. These regulations have been in use since the 9th Amsterdam Olympics in 1928.
