History of the Olympic medals
Medals were invented by Antonio Pisano in 1896 in Athens, Greece. Antonio Pisano was from Italy and he lived in the 14th century. Antoria was the first medal artist who invented medals for the Olympic Games. Those medals weren't used to buy something in a shop, for example. He made his medals to immortalise. In 1896, medals were re-discovered and the best sports-man received a silver medal and the second sports-man received a bronze medal. Gold medals were invented and joined in 1908 in London. The country that won most golds medals is U.S.A. One case is that of the best sport-man Michael Phelps. He has won 22 gold medals 2 silver medals 2 bronze medals and has broken 7 world records.
