We are not going to tell you about this since it is boring. We’ll tell you the fact that may attract your attention: The organizers have presented the dummies of future medals and diplomas to be awarded to the winners and champions of the Fourth Asian Beach Games.
The medal design includes 3 main themes of the Games – sea, sand and sun, and also the Games’ talisman – the tortoise which shell image has been used for the reverse of the medal. Remarkably, sand as the underlying theme of the Asian Beach Games was included in the composition of the alloy which was used for the creation of “the round awards”.
