北京奥运奖牌

段国斌

一次创造性地使用了中华美玉。正面为国际奥委会统一规定的图案——插上翅膀站立的希腊胜利女神和希腊潘纳辛纳科竞技场。奖牌背面镶嵌着取自中国古代龙纹玉璧造型的玉璧，背面正中的金属图形上镌刻着北京奥运会会徽。整个奖牌尊贵典雅，中国特色浓郁，可谓是中华文明与奥林匹克精神的 “中西合璧”。

The medals are 70mm in diameter and 6mm in thickness. On their obverse side, the medals adopt the standard design prescribed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC)-a drawing that represents the winged goddess of victory Nike and Panathinaikos Arena.

北京2008年奥运会奖牌第一次创造性的使用了中华美玉。

该奖牌直径70毫米。厚度6毫米。奖牌正面采用国际奥委会规定的标准设计——描绘展开双翼的希腊胜利女神和潘纳辛纳科竞技场的图案。

On their reverse side, the medals are inlaid with jade with the Beijing Games emblem engraved in the metal centerpiece. The medal for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games is designed with inspiration coming from “bi”, Chinas ancient jade piece inscribed with dragon pattern. The medals, made of gold and jade, symbolize nobility and virtue and are embodiment of traditional Chinese values of ethics and honor, sending forth strong Chinese flavor.

奖牌背面内嵌中华玉，正中央镌刻着北京奥运会会徽。2008北京奥运会奖牌的设计灵感来源于“碧”，刻有中华龙图案的古玉。由于和玉制成的奖牌象征着高贵和美德，也是中华民族传统道德价值观和荣誉观的体现，散发出浓郁的中国风情。
