Commemorative Olympic Gold Medals for Saturday's SOCHI Winners

‎02-11-2014 07:16 PM

Saturday, February 15th, marks the one year anniversary of the Chelyabinsk meteorite landing in Russia, so they have created special gold medals that are embedded with a piece of that rock. These will be awarded in addition to the regular gold medal they earn.

I think this is a really neat idea.

I guess I'm the only one who thinks this medal is cool! I think only 7 events have their Finals that day so this is truly a limited edition item.

I think having a piece of the rock is great, but I don't know that I'd want it in my medal. It's a creative idea, though.

They will receive the normal medal, too. This is just a bonus for Saturday's Gold winners.
