Participant medals have existed since the renewal of the modern Olympic Games in 1896. As for the Olympic Winter Games, they appeared as early as Chamonix 1924. This is the only edition of the Games where the design of this medal is identical to that of the winner’s medal. They are given to all athletes participating in the Olympic Games as well as to officials. Sometimes volunteers and members of the media can benefit.
