Alabama NewsCenter — The World Games 2022 reveals gold, silver and bronze medals

By Alabama NewsCenter Staff

The World Games 2022 recently unveiled its gold, silver and bronze medals at the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in an event featuring three medal-winning Olympic and Paralympic athletes.

In a scene reminiscent of a traditional medal presentation, the athletes took their places on a three-tiered platform and had the gold, silver and bronze medals placed around their necks by Ron Froehlich, honorary life president of the International World Games Association. The event’s theme was “Step Up.”

“Just as athletes from around the world will soon step up to seize their moment of glory, this is Birmingham’s moment to step up on the global stage. Now that the Olympics are over, we are the world’s next big international sports competition,” said Nick Sellers, CEO of The World Games 2022. “We are honored and proud to bring the world here for the first international multisport event with full venues since the pandemic. The world is clamoring to reconnect and we can’t wait to witness history as amazing athletes compete for these medals.”
