Why aren't medals awarded in the Winter Olympics?

Because of the cold weather in the Winter Olympics, medals will be awarded after the competition. The awarding ceremony of the Winter Olympics is different from that of the Summer Olympics. Due to the cold weather during the Winter Olympics, after the competition, only prizes will be awarded to the winners, and then medals will be awarded to the winners in a specific award plaza. It is understood that this tradition has continued since 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics.

The flower of the Olympic Games that never fades.

At that time, at the award ceremony, bundles of Olympic flowers that will never fade will be presented to the winners together with medals. In addition, compared with previous Winter Olympics, the award ceremony of Beijing Winter Olympics has added a new bright spot. When athletes get medals and are about to step off the stage, they can interact with their families in real time on the side of the stage through the screen. Everyone shares the joy of winning a medal for about 20-30 seconds. This link appeared in the Tokyo Olympic Games and was first used in the Winter Olympics.
