The Milan-Cortina Olympics are the first games with two host cities in the name. So the medals for the upcoming Winter Games represent "two halves coming together."
Organizers for the next Olympics and Paralympics unveiled the medals for the games at a ceremony alongside the Grand Canal in Venice on Tuesday.
They are described as "a graphic abstraction capturing the union of two halves in perpetual motion" and "two unique halves coming together to create a bold, unified statement."
They feature the Olympic rings on one side and the games' logos on the other with specific events engraved on each medal.
The Olympics are scheduled for Feb. 6-22, followed by the Paralympics March 6-15. A total of 1,146 medals will be awarded across 195 events between the two.
