So Salon has a listing of the ugliest Gold Medals given out at Olympics - there are 8 and it is a funny list.

However, in looking at the London 2012 medals, I am struck by the dichotomy between the faux antique look on the front and the hideous "modern" look on the back. Individually, each side's look is forced and overly designed, but together they combine to be truly a bad idea.

Having said that, heaven knows I won't get one - so good on you athletes.
