London 2012 Olympics Organizers Unveil Lin Cheung-Designed Paralympic Games Medals

Back in late July, you might remember, the London 2012 Organizing Committee unveiled the David Watkins-designed medals to be given out to the winners of next year’s impending Olympics. Those for the other half of the event, the Paralympic Games, have now been displayed at a press conference held late yesterday. Designed by jeweler and object-craftsman Lin Cheung, they seem to depart a touch from Watkins’ designs, offering something a bit more abstract and, in out opinion, much more poetic and appealing.
