Coveted and highly collected, actual Olympic participation medals are always sought after as it gives fans a distinguished way to capture and keep a piece of the games. This lot includes medals for both the 2002 and 2010 Olympic Games respectively. 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 2010 Vancouver medal, also offered in its original presentation box is a 1 ½” circular affair and it features embossed geometric designs front and back 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”. Both in excellent condition, we should point out to our potential bidders that the 2002 medal is a volunteer medal, while the 2010 example was only issued to volunteers and VANOC staff, with neither medal offered for sale to the public originally.
