Sochi 2014 had the most beautiful medals....Torino 2006 had nice ones too. Makes me wonder *** happened with Vancouver 2010? Are they metal potato chips?

Agreed. Vancouver's were bad, although I hated Torino's as well. Whenever they were awarded I thought they looked like DVDs though I liked how the neck ribbon was integrated into the medal.
Thank you! So many people seem to love the Torino Medals I thought they looked awful and reminded me of donuts
I don't think Vancouver was bad, just too simple.
One year SkateAmerica decided to abandon the round tradition all together and award rectangular medals. http://i.huffpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/374772/slide_374772_4375680_compressed.jpg
What kind of medal is that.
Back when the big French international was Trophee Lalique they had some beautiful glass medals and trophies. I think Lalique is a glass company. I couldn't find a pic of the medals, but here's one of their awesome trophies. Don't drop that Plushy!!. http://cache1.asset-cache.net/gc/27...caf3hTKIg2/6KVJBDnlbCGjwokSb4Rs9C28B3VoeP4EEK
I loved the Vancouver medals.... maybe because they made sense to me as someone who has seen the beauty of BC landscapes, the waves of the Ocean, the snowy mountains... and is aware of aboriginal art... here's an article about them http://www.mint.ca/store/news/vanco...=600004&nodeGroup=About+the+Mint#.VpSQvfH8--4 ...
I love Vancouver medals because they're simple and minimalistic. ...
One of my friends won a silver in Vancouver. I've worn it quite a few times and it looks very pretty on me
I really like the Nagano and Sochi medals, though the Vancouver ones are nice too. Has anyone seen the medals for the 2016 Winter YOG in Lillehammer? They're gorgeous!

I guess in this worlds everything have to be bigger and more expensive...
ISU medal are perfectly fine, beautifully reminding the tradition of FS and anyway, the title is important, not the medal.
I always loved the Nagano medal and Turino's. Vancouver were fine but I agree with the person saying it's a potatoe slice. The most awful were SLC, just "watch how big our b*lls are, this is the biggest olys medal ever, booooooooorn in the USA" etc. Disgusting.
I found Albertville's ugly and cheap. Actually during the dance medal ceremony (the country was behind the screen litterally) the speaker Roger Zabel says it's made of plexiglass... How cheap. He says it twice until Anne Sophie de Kristoffy reminds us it's actually Lalique's crystal. https://youtu.be/AsYHd_zIxZI at 2:50 and 3:00.
