I really like the inclusion of jade into the medals - looks really meaningful (for a Chinese) and uniquely Oriental. The ornate decoration on the loop is also quite commendable. The other side, however, is a lot less appealing. :lol:

Can't really see the jade and dragon though. Maybe i'm blind.

haha, thats assuming that sg wins ANYTHING for the olympics..... no offence...

i think we can get medals in ping pong, gym routines... the rest are still very subjectable.....
i mean if anyone wins in an olympic event, OF COURSE they can hav the liberty of recieving the medal, but however, be realistic, going up against power houses like team USA, China and Russia.... i think its gonna be abit difficult since singapore houses only abt 5-10% of talents as compared to what these powerhouses have (it might be much lesser, im trying to be optimistic here... haha) think abt it and do the math...
