Organizers of the World Aquatics Championships - Doha 2024 have unveiled the exquisite medals that will be awarded at World Aquatics' most prominent tournament, when it is held for the first time in the Middle East.
Over 2,600 athletes representing 197 nations will participate in 75 events in Doha, competing for the honor of being awarded the meticulously crafted gold, silver, and bronze medals; a symbol of prestige in Qatar.
The championship is scheduled to take place from February 2 to 18, 2024 at Aspire Dome, Hamad Aquatic Centre and the Old Doha Port.
What makes the medal special?
Each medal is a reflection of the topography of the country and integral aspects of Qatari and Doha culture. The curvature of the medals imitates the intersection of water and desert dunes, a prominent feature of Qatar's stunning natural scenery.
