Warped

Fail. The medals for the 2010 Olympics look like old vinyl records that have been left out in the sun too long.

From Trendhunter Magazine:

Athletes competing in the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games can look forward to wearing one of these uniquely designed Olympic medals around their neck. The Vancouver Organizing Committeerevealed the new designs today which, for the first time in Olympic history, are not flat.

...The dramatic form of the Vancouver 2010 medals is inspired by the ocean waves, drifting snow and mountainous landscape found in the Games region and throughout Canada.

That was the natural step after the ones at the previous Olympics that looked like CDs.

Just wait until the 2014 Winter Olympics ... medals that look like 8 tracks.
