Paralympic Trivia

The Rio 2016 medals are uniquely designed for Paralympic athletes.

Medals make sound when shaken that tells visually impaired athletes if they are gold, silver or bronze.

Innovation was the key word as the Rio 2016 organizing committee and the Brazilian Mint unveiled the medals that will be awarded at the Paralympic Games in September.

Each of the 2,642 medals (877 gold, 876 silver, 889 bronze) has a device inside that uses tiny steel balls to make a sound when they are shaken, allowing visually impaired athletes to identify which color they are.

The bronze medals have 16 steel balls and make the lowest sound. The silver medals have 20 balls and the golds have 28, producing the loudest noise. All of the medals also have the words 'Rio 2016 Paralympic Games' written on them Braille.

Take a look at the 2016 Games' medals up close.
