Coveted and highly collected, Olympic participation medals give fans a distinguished way to celebrate and capture a piece of the games. Never offered for sale to the general public, this lot includes participation medals for both the 2002 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games (both in Salt Lake City), as well as the 2010 Vancouver Games. The 2002 Salt Lake City rectangular medal is offered in its original display box and features an embossed generic athlete with outreaching hand along with majestic mountain scenery in background, with the familiar Olympic rings in the lower front. The reverse again shares the front’s embossed scenery, with “Light the fire within”, and “Salt Lake City 2002”. The 2” Paralympic Games medal in its original presentation box has the 2002 logo raised over the obverse along with “Paralympic Winter Games” and “Salt Lake 2002”, while the reverse feature’s the date along with “Mind Body Spirit”. The 2010 Vancouver medal, also offered in its original presentation box, is a 1 ½” circular affair featuring embossed geometric designs over the obverse and reverse along with the Olympic rings and the official Vancouver games symbol. The game’s anthem is also listed which proclaims “With glowing hearts, des plus brillants exploits”. All three medals survive in gorgeous like-new condition including their boxes, with just the absolute lightest handling wear present. Both 2002 medals were only issued to volunteers, while the 2010 example was presented to both volunteers and VANOC staff.
