Beijing Winter Olympics medal ‘concentric’ design unveiled


The medal design for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, which is 100 days away, has been revealed.

The Beijing Olympic Games Organizing Committee announced on the 26th the design of the medals to be awarded to the athletes at this event.

The name of the medal was decided as ‘simultaneous’, which means ‘together as one’. In Chinese, it is ‘Tongxin’.

This is the name of the medal in line with the slogan of the Beijing Winter Olympics, ‘Together for a Shared Future’.

The five-ring mark is in the middle of the medal, and five concentric circles are engraved with patterns such as ice, snow, and clouds. Concentric circles represent the harmony of heaven, earth, and people in China.

In addition, the design of medals during the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics was also added, highlighting the fact that Beijing is the first city in history to host both the Winter and Summer Olympics.

On the back of the medal, the emblem of the Beijing Winter Olympics and the name of the competition were written in Chinese characters, and detailed events were engraved in English at the bottom of the medal.

The shape of the medal is based on the pendant shape of an ancient Chinese jade necklace.

The Beijing Winter Olympics will kick off on February 4, 2022 and run until February 20 for 109 gold medals. yunhap news
