Event (FIG) 2025 Worlds Medals

As a Southeast Asianist (my secondary teaching field), I love them.

I agree that the smiles give them a Sanrio vibe, but that isn't a bad thing. Sanrio is wildly popular throughout Asia. Then again, I have a tween daughter and a house full of grinning geegaws and plushies, so you may wish to take my opinion with a grain of salt.

The mascot looks like a Cabbage Patch Kid still in the patch

I would be so embarrassed if I worked my entire life to make it to Worlds and then had to wear this thing on the medal podium. This looks like a medal we would give out to the tiny tots class for making it through the year without peeing their pants.

Is this really the medals? I’m speechless!

It reminds me of when my kids were in pre-school and they held the annual "Blueberry skiing race" - the medals looked a bit like this although they made them themselves out of cardboard and glitter glue.

I choose the mascot medal over the donut medal. At least the flower can bring back memories of where the competition took place.

I quite liked the doughnut medal
