Who designed the Medals?
The other night we were all watching The Games when we caught our first peek at the Torino Medals. My first reaction was… "Ah—That’s where all those AOL CD’s we tossed out went!" The Dr. Doug chimed in… "Couldn’t the Italian's afford an entire medal?" Friday night, Tonight Show host Jay Leno called them “A large washer with a ribbon through it!” Tonight, Olympic Speed Skating Gold Medalist Chad Hedrick called it, “a golden donut.”All in all, these medals are as unique as the Albertville Medals of Lalique Crystal and Lillehammer Medals of a crystal window backed in native granite, both surrounded by Gold, Silver or Bronze frames. The Torin designer Dario Quatrini said the empty space (or the hole in the middle,) represents the Italian piazza, or town square.
Okay they are an Olympic Medal, however what are you calling them? Hit the Comments Button.
