Doha Asiad medals unveiled The medals (pic) for the Doha Asian Games were unveiled to the world. The medals have the official mascot Orry carrying the Asian Games torch high as he runs into the foreground on one side and the Doha 2006 logo inset into the Asian sun on the other. A traditional Qatari pattern is emblazoned on a burgundy ribbon. The front of the medal incorporates the graphic elements of the Games and the proud history of the nation of Qatar, while the back of the medal will show the bond between Qatar and the rest of the Asian continent. Orry runs with the torch in front of the Zubara fort, an important cultural landmark for Qatar. Some 2,950 medals will be made for the Games, which will be held from Dec 1-15. thestar.com.my 1 Mar 06 |
