The medals for the 2023 World Athletics Championships, Budapest, have been unveiled. Only eleven days away, the world championships will bring together elite athletes around the world in the quest for glory.
World Athletics, in its design of the new medals, emphasized representing Hungary, the host country and capturing the essence of a sporting nation.
"On one side of the medals, the central figure is the logo of the WCH Budapest 23: the Statue of Liberty atop Gellért Hill, a prominent and recognizable landmark in Budapest," part of the statement reads.
"Standing at a towering height of 14 metres, this charismatic female figure can be seen from various corners of the city, leaving a lasting impression on visitors."
"The palm branch grasped in the statue's hand has long been a symbol of glory, victory and enlightenment, dating back to ancient times," the statement added.
