Track and field, where one meet is several events

A sprinter runs the 100, the 200 and a relay leg in a single afternoon. A decathlete does ten. Athletics produces medals in volume for the same structural reason gymnastics does — the sport is many sports at once.

Cut from stainless steel in four widths. If the athlete is still at school, buy for where they'll be in three years rather than where they are; the 45 cm holds up to 50 across three rails and fills sooner than you'd think.

Relay medals are the ones people forget to count. Every relay a sprinter runs is another medal for the same afternoon, and a club with a strong squad enters relays at every meet.

The same medal display is cut in several widths. Buying as a gift? Count what is already in the drawer and go one size up.

Size & capacity

Not sure which size?

Multiple events per meet. Take the number of competitions in a season and multiply by three.

Why stainless steel, not painted sheet metal

The medal hanger is cut from AISI 304 stainless steel (V2A / 1.4301), 2.5-3 mm thick depending on the width. Not painted sheet metal that chips at the first knock.

And it holds a continuous rail, not hooks. Twelve hooks means twelve medals. A rail holds as many as fit.

Putting it up

The standoffs hold it a centimetre off the wall, which is what gives the shadow line. Template, screws and plugs are included; you need a drill and ten minutes.

After the first one is full

They're made to pair. A second unit sits flush against the first and the run reads as a single display. The widest version holds up to 110 medals across three rails.
