Beijing Olympic Medals
After a global competition resulting in 265 proposals from all over the world, the Beijing Olympic Committee announces the XXIX Olympiad medals.
Each medal sports the Beijing Olympics logo inlaid with Chinese jade. It's the first time jade of this caliber will be used for an Olympic medal making them the most expensive Olympic medals in history.
Man the Chinese are going all out for the Olympics. First the insanely beautiful and huge Olympic buildings, the most exquisite Olympic torch I've ever seen and now these medals. Simply gorgeous. I can't wait to see what they have planned for the opening ceremony.
