More than 4,000 medals will be handed out at this summer’s Pan Am and Parapan American Games and now athletes have a better idea what they’re competing for. The medals were unveiled on Tuesday. And, they’re beautiful! (of course!)

The Pan Am Games will run July 10-26, while the Parapan Am Games are Aug. 7-14.  Approx. 6,600 athletes from 41 countries will be competing.
