Olympic Medals

Medals are given to athletes who come first, second and third in each event. Gold is for first, silver for second and bronze for third.

Medals are presented to the athletes at a ceremony soon after the event. The winner of the gold medal stands in the centre on the highest step. The winner of the silver medal stands on his or her right and the winner of the bronze medal is on the left.

The medals are placed around the neck of each winner. The national anthem of the gold medal winner's country is played and the flag of each medal winner's country is flown.
