The host country designs the medals at each olympic games.

From Chamonix in 1924 until St Moritz in 1928,
the medal presentation ceremonies traditionally
took place at the Games Closing Ceremony.
Since 1932 in Lake Placid, the Olympic medals
have been presented after each competition.
The medals must be a minimum of 60mm in
diameter, and at least 3mm thick. The winner’s
medal must be gilded with at least six grams of
fine gold, and the other two medals are made of
silver. The names of all the medal-winners are
written on the walls of the main stadium where
the Olympic Games take place. In Salt Lake
City, the gold and silver medals each weighed
567 grams – they were the heaviest in Olympic
history. The bronze medal weighed 454 grams.
Also for the first time, the medals varied
according to the sporting discipline, with 16
different artistic designs
