Olympic Medals for Beijing 2008

Made of gold and jade

For the first time jade is used for the Beijing Olympic medals. The medals have been designed with inspiration coming from "bi", China's ancient jade piece inscribed with a dragon pattern. The medals symbolise nobility and virtue and are the embodiment of traditional Chinese values of ethics and honour, emitting a strong Chinese flavour. The winners' medal is made of gold weighing not less than six grammes each. The medal for the runner-up is made of pure silver.
