>a pineapple ring

The Pyongchang medal is unironically aesthetic tho

Nagano medal a shit

This year's is nice

New one is easily best of the bunch

sochi and pyeongchang looks alright. sochi one doesnt look like actual gold though

5 > 4 > POWER GAP > ANOTHER POWER GAP > rest
If you disagree, you are fat and reeks of subhuman.

are my eyes playing tricks on me or is the vancouver one not a circle it's all wobbly looking

yeah the 2018 isn't bad, but the 4 others.
industrial design in general hasn't changed THAT much in that time period.

that's the bronze medal

>vancouver isnt even round
for what purpose?

that's how they are

fucking hell, canada's is absolutely dire

...

what the fuck canada

a fuckin leaf

hahah get cucked faggots

Their flag is a leaf, what makes you think they'd do a good job designing anything?

>even their medals are fucking leaves

It looks like it started to melt, or the sculptor took a lunchbreak and forgot to finish.

each one is also different from the rest, which I guess is kinda cool in theory

iirc the vancouver medals were made from one giant sheet and cookie cutters were used to cut out the medals.

I like how cheap Russia went for Sochi and just cut out large pieces of their metals

yeah but they all just kinda look like they were accidentally left next to a heat lamp

No, it's really not.

Meanie, they even contained metal from Chelyabinsk meteorite

the 2206 one is the worst

that is atrocious

1998- is that a sticker?
2006- a fucking donut
2010- looks like a retard made it
2014- half of it is like plastic
2018- respectable

everyone gets a different medal in pyeongchang

rate Salt Lake City medals

>italian design as usual the best of the bunch
feels good

>plebs not appreciating canadian kino

typical

Any pics? Surprised Olympics are still going in 200 years

If it wasn't for the fallout scrap metal medal yours would be the worst

Look like some shit 10th grade shop class students made wtf

Can you show us the future, time-taveller?

in finnish we have an old saying for this: huutista

>best of the bunch
Lmao

Look at the way the ribbon is attached, scuffed as fuck

1 >>> 5 >> 4 > 2 > 3

>Vaughncouver medal
all of my JUST

It only doesn't look shit because it isn't dated. Give it 4 years and it'll seem just as bad.

agree but 5 is closer to 1 than 4

I honestly doubt that. Look at what products and design in general looked like 4 years ago. That Sochi medal looked like ass back then too.

Looks like butt molding

>original aesthetic design
>anything but best
reminder not to take any advice from these "people"

Some of the old ones are absolute kino

And they don't fuck with the summer design as much. Still using the Athens one

Albertville is GOAT; Sarajevo is WOAT.

wow I thought Helsinki's were kinda ugly but nice to see they weren't originally ours

Beijing, London & Rio

france skimping on the gold

an Olympic medal should feel like you are taking home a piece of national pride, not an art students honours project

The reverse of the Beijing ones were fucking awful

nah, london was way worse with that fucking dreadful logo

what's with the ww2 helmet?

>too old to ever win an olympic medal
why even bother living?

Which is why it's kind of nice Nike is on all of them for the summer games, speaks to the history of it all

At least London's is a pure gold colour. Those look like they're from Toys R Us

imagine winning olympic gold and then getting that instead of a nice golden medal

>"Joshua, you did take the medals out of the oven, right?"

delet

That's a short saying

Those aren't the actual winter bowl rings.

the summer ones are all fine at least on the face side but the winter ones are mostly trash

are these things worth anything, material value I mean?

Isn't the gold one actually silver with gold coating or something?

Wow you can actually see the cultural rot play out over time

they're tin plated with gold i believe

still woth a few grand i think

Why is the Vancouver one all bent?

material value as in how much money could you get for one, or the price of the materials?

Gold : a silver medal with a purity of 99.9% plated with 6 g of gold. Silver: a silver medal with a purity of 99.9%. Bronze: a copper medal (Cu90-Zn10).
Weight: Gold: 586 g. Silver: 580 g. Bronze: 493 g.

you're going to have to google the price of silver yourself

Everything out of China looks like shit

Great thread on my Sup Forums?

Same design for 72 years is kinda amazing

THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF CANADA

good post

yeah how much gold/silver is in these things, if you would melt it down

so thats about 300 euros for the silver medal and almost 600 for the gold one, damn. with 102 events thats almost 100k in medals alone, not including the team events so the actual amount is much higher

also they have spares for when people draw

2018 ones are 6 percent gold

no is from 2018 website

>wear appropriate attire the cameras can see while also maintaining a degree of comfy where the cameras can't see

brainlets will never understand

nagano at least looks like an olympic medal. if it weren't for the olympic rings on the others, i'd have no fucking clue what they were from.

kek

There's always the Senior Olympics.

>instagram filter on photo of some medals

for what purpose

women

No it’s not - it looks like cheap vinyl flooring.

>canada even shitposts with their olympic medals

neat thanks

10k for a literal who's olympic gold medal, thats pretty cool

You can see all of the Olympic medal designs here: olympic.org/olympic-medals

The summer ones are only allowed to be unique on one side. If you're only gonna look at the non-unique side, then no shit they're all gonna look the same.

...

Athens easily the best of recent times

>Brazil can’t get a gold medal that actually looks gold
lmao

Ooft, that's bad
