SUMMER GAMES
The torches, medals and sports equipment which have marked the Summer Games
ROME MEDAL
The first time the medals were hung around the necks of the victors was at the Rome Olympics in 1960.
On that occasion a chain made of laurel leaves was designed to suspend the medals on. Today, a coloured ribbon is often used.
