Notes

Beijing 2022, gold, silver and bronze medals. The Beijing 2022 medals, named “Tong Xin” (“together as one”), were composed of five rings and a centre. This design was based on Chinese ancient jade concentric circle pendants, with the five rings representing the Olympic spirit. The name of the discipline was featured on the outermost ring on the reverse of each medal. Donated by the OCOG
