Countdown to Lillehammer 2016 – Medals unveiled

The designs for the medals which will be awarded at the Winter Youth Olympic Games in Lillehammer (NOR) have been unveiled last week.

One side of the medal has been designed by 20-year-old Romanian designer Ciprian Burzo who won the IOC’s prestigious Medal Design Competition last autumn, beating over 300 other entrants from 65 countries with his entry titled “To the top”.  The design depicts the Scandinavian mountains, winter, ice, skates, skis and the podium.

The reverse face of the design has been brought together by the Lillehammer 2016 Organisers who took their inspiration from the four young Norwegian designers who created the visual profile and logo of the Games in the early stages of their organisation.  As a result, all the medals have youth design and creativity cast into the very precious metal that will adorn the necks of the best young athletes in the world.
