What do the medals in PyeongChang Winter Olympics look like?

Medals and suspenders are designed in Korean and Hanbok. According to the tradition of the Olympic Games, the "five rings" pattern is used on the upper left of the medal front, and the periphery is filled with energetic diagonal lines, which embodies the spirit of "sweat and patience of Olympic athletes". The Olympic logo and the name of the specific project are printed on the back. The side is surrounded by Korean consonants and vowels of "PyeongChang Winter Olympics 20 18", which highlights the three-dimensional sense.

The Olympic medals are 92.5 mm in diameter, 9.42 mm in convex surface and 4.4 mm in concave surface. The gold medal weighs 586 grams, the silver medal weighs 580 grams and the bronze medal weighs 493 grams. Compared with the 20 14 Winter Olympics in Sochi, the gold and silver medals are heavier and the bronze medals are lighter.
