Torino No Go

Maybe it’s just me, but don’t the Torino Olympic medals look like reconstituted CDs? I keep expecting a winner to put one in their stereo and have the Spice Girls or something come out. A Speak Up post reveals that the design symbolizes an Italian piazza (mmm, okay) and the hole represents the heart, filled by the athlete who wears it. Actually, the picture they linked to makes the medals look much classier than they appear on TV. Having the ribbon thread through the medal is another elegant touch.
