edit: the design has been changed since the 2004 games
The gold, silver and bronze medals have a new look for the Athens Olympics - a redesign that's unique, Greek and even a little chic.

For the facelift, the first for the Summer Games in 76 years, organizers asked artists to submit proposals that included two distinctly Greek elements: a depiction of Nike, the goddess of victory, and the Panathinaikos, the horseshoe-shaped stadium in Athens where the first modern Olympics were held in 1896.
