The organizers of the II European Games presented the medals that athletes will compete for on the II European games. The design of the medals reflects one of the emblems of the Games, “paparats-kvetka”.
The medals form personifies the characteristic traits of the Belarusian people: gentleness, friendliness, good humor, closeness to nature. The 9.5 cm diameter of the medal is also not accidental, as the population of Belarus makes up 9.5 million people.

Here is what the Director of the II European Games Foundation – Georgy Katulin, said:
“Since the antique Olympic Games, honoring the winners was an important part of the competition. At first, it was a wreath of olive branches. At present, more and more advanced technologies are used. We can state with confidence that the awards of the II European Games will become a cherished goal not only for athletes, but also for collectors”.
The Games will be staged in Minsk on 21-30 June. More than 4 000 athletes are going to attend the competition.
