Shin Jia, who said she was honoured to compete at the Youth Olympic Games organised in her country, won two medals: gold in the team event and silver in the individual event. The dress design was based on an iris, which is also a figure from Greek mythology. The creator wanted the dress to pass on the flower’s elegance and grace to the skater. Donated by the athlete
