Here are THREE fun facts about the amazing Birmingham 2022 medals!
1. There will be 1,875 medals up for grabs across all the sporting events, and for the first time ever in a global, multi-sport event, there are more women's events than men's!
2. Three students from the School of Jewellery in Birmingham have designed the medals, ribbons, and boxes that will be awarded to athletes at the Games. Great job Amber Alys, Francesca Wilcox, and Catarina Rodrigues Caeiro!
3. The gold, silver, and bronze medals are being made in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, and key features of the design include symbolising an aerial map of the host region’s road and canal network.
