Notes

Buenos Aires 2018, winners’ medals for the Youth Olympic Games, gold, silver and bronze. Chosen from close to 300 entries from over 50 nations, the winning design was picked by a panel of judges made up of Young Change-Makers, Young Reporters and IOC Members. Medal design competition winner Muhamad Farid Husen commented on his win: “It is really an honour for me to be a little part of Youth Olympic Games. I can’t describe how my feeling is…being the designer of the medals which is used by all the winners of the Youth Olympics is an honour for me. My dream came true.” Internal transfer
