The medals for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics were unveiled today with exactly one year to go until next year's Games.
The unveiling of the medals, designed by Junichi Kawanishi, was the main attraction of an extravagant ceremony, which was attended by International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach and Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe.
The medals, which are 85 millimetre in diameter, feature Greek goddess of victory Nike in their design along with the Olympic symbol and are made from recycled metals, collected from 6.21 million electronic devices donated across Japan.
IOC ‘very satisfied’ with Tokyo 2020 preparations, say organisers
