The London 2017 Olympic medals have been unveiled in a special ceremony at Trafalgar Square as Britain starts the countdown with one year to go.

The highly anticipated medals were presented by Her Royal Highness, the Princess Royal and London 2017 chairman Sebastian Coe, with International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge and Coordination Commission chairman Denis Oswald also attending.

They will recognise the “incredible achievement” of outstanding athletes at the London Olympics, with more than 2,100 copies set to be made for 302 victory ceremonies that will stretch over 16 historic days of competition next year.

The medals, designed by British artist David Watkins, depict Nike, the Greek Goddess of Victory, stepping out of the Parthenon to arrive in the host city. The front side also shows a bowl resembling an amphitheatre, with the medal's overall circular shape a symbol of the world.
