  • Recipients: The top three competitors receive medals
  • Shape: Usually circular, featuring an attachment for a chain or ribbon
  • Diameter: A minimum of 60 mm
  • Thickness: A minimum of 3 mm
  • Material:
    • First place: It is composed of silver of at least .925 grade, plated with 6 grams of gold.
    • Second place: .925 silver.
    • Third place: It is mostly copper with some tin and zinc (worth approximately $3).
  • Event details: The sport for which the medal has been awarded should be written on the medal
