The medals for Lillehammer 2016 Youth Olympic Games are here!🌟 Do you want one?😊

Winning an Olympic medal is a dream for many young athletes. In February that dream will come true for some of the young athletes from 71 nations coming together for the 2nd Winter Youth Olympic Games.

The A-side of the medal is designed by 20-year-old Ciprian Burzo from Romania who won the IOC’s International Medal Design Contest last summer. After outdoing 300 contributions from 65 countries, it is his design that is awarded to the best young athletes in the world. The medals are inspired by the energy and the spirit of the Youth Olympic Games. The design is called “To the top”. He used elements such as the Scandinavian mountains, Winter, ice, skates, skis and the podium in his design.

The B-side of the medal incorporates the visual profile and the logo of the Games, which were designed by four young Norwegian students in the early stages on the way to ‪#‎Lillehammer2016‬. As a result, the medals have a youth design and creativity from concept to final product.
