Sochi 2014 Olympic medals are distinguished by their originality and beauty. The picture on the medal reminds that the XXII Winter Olympic Games were held in Sochi. In this city, nature is diverse. Thus, the sun's rays are reflected on the snow-covered tops of the mountains, and the warm Black Sea is located not far from frosty ice. Russia is a multinational country with completely different cultures. This became the main image of the Olympic Games in Sochi, which is why each medal has a corporate engraving in the form of a "patchwork quilt".
The obverse of the medal follows the traditions of the Olympics - it features five Olympic rings. The reverse contains information about the type of competition in which this medal was received, and the emblem of the Sochi-2014 Games. The fact that this medal was received precisely at the XXII Olympic Games is indicated on the edge. The inscription is given in three languages: Russian, English and French.
The weight of each Olympic medal varies from 460 (for bronze) to 531 (for gold) grams. Sochi 2014 medals are not very large. So, the thickness of the medal is only 1 cm, and the diameter is 10 cm.
