13. Opening, Closing and Victory Ceremonies 422 Le Comité International Olympique prie le de lui faire l'honneur de participer aux jeux de la XXIV Olympiade qui auronr lieù à Séoul du 17 septembre au 2 octobre 1988 Juan Antonio Samaranch President 80 13.5.3 Manufacturing of the Award Goods —————————————– Production of the medals for winners and participants The winners' medals designed by the Italian Professor Cassioli were used from the ninth Olympiad in Amsterdam in 1928 to the 17th Games in Mexico in 1968. At the Munich Games in 1972, Montreal Games in 1976 and the Moscow Games in 1980, independent designs were used on the reverse side of the medals upon the approval of the IOC. The SLOOC began to study matters related to the winners' medals in 1984 and mapped out the major directions for the medals' materials and sizes. It set up a policy to put a unique Koreanstyle design on the reverse side of the medals for the official sports. In October 1986, the SLOOC commissioned the Korea Security Printing and Minting Corporation to manufacture the medals. The corporation submitted the draft designs to the SLOOC for deliberation by its advisory committee, and the final designs of the medals for winners and participants were announced publicly in June 1987, after being endorsed by the IOC Executive Committee. The winners' medals showed the ancient coliseum and the goddess of victory holding the laurel crowns on the obverse side on which were engraved "XXIVth Olympiad Seoul 1988." The back side showed a pigeon, the symbol of peace, soaring up, holding a laurel branch in its mouth, and the Seoul Olympic sash composed of three Taeguk patterns from the Korean national flag and five Olympic rings. On the obverse side of the participants' medals were put Korea's National Treasure No. 1, Namdaemun (South Gate), flanked by such familiar motifs in ancient Korean folk paintings as the mountain, cloud, crane and the sun. The reverse side showed the Seoul Olympic sash and the order, venue and the year of the Games under it. The participants' medals, which are the IOC's official commemorative medals, were presented to all participants including the athletes and delegates. Medals for the demonstration and exhibition sports had the different movements of Hodori showing different sports and letters "XXIVth Olympiad Seoul 1988" on the front. The reverse side of the demonstration sports medals was the same as that of the official sports medals. The reverse side of the exhibition sports medals was made the same with that of the participants' medals. Such use of same designs helped down the cost. Ribbons for the medals were designed by the SLOOC Design Room. The ultramarine, orange and red, the major colors for the Seoul Olympic Games, were used in a ratio of 3:2:1. The three colors and white were put together in a ratio of 1:1. The ribbons were woven with rayon yarn and were made in the same way as the ribbons for the stand for the victory ceremonies and bouquets. When the designs for the medals were determined, the SLOOC assigned their production to the Korea Security Printing and Minting Corporation. The corporation produced the test products before starting the manufacture of the medals and after several rounds of improvements finalized the exact medal in December 1987. The medals were manufactured according to the pertinent provisions in the Olympic Charter. Gold took up 92.5 percent of the content of the gold medal, which was gilded with more than 5 grams of gold. It was 60mm in diameter and weighed 146 grams. Silver constituted 92.5 percent of the content of the silver medal and the remaining 7.5 percent of the content was bronze. It was 60mm in diameter and weighed 140 grams. The bronze medal contained 95 percent of bronze, 4 percent copper and 1 percent zinc. It was also 60mm in diameter. The participants' medal was made of bronze in the same size with the bronze medals. The medal containers were made of high-quality blue velvet, giving fresh yet soft impression. A total of 525 gold, 515 silver and 550 bronze medals were manufactured for the official sports. For the demonstration and exhibition sports, 55 gold, 55 silver and 78 bronze medals were produced. All these medals were awarded during the Games. A total of 20,400 participants' medals were produced and distributed to all participants through the Olympic Village, Headquarters Hotel and designated hotels. Production of diplomas The designs of the citations and the participation diplomas were fixed in May 1988, and the test products were made. In June of the same year, the diplomas were approved by the IOC President Samaranch during his visit to Korea. On the citations were printed weakly the hunting scene from the warriors' tomb built during Koguryo Kingdom (37 B.C.-A.D.668). The participation diplomas were designed to enhance the image of Korea through the variations of taeguk, the yin and yang symbol on its national flag. Six thousand citations and 23,000 participation diplomas were produced to be given to the estimated number of prize winners and participants. The citations were presented to those who were placed first to eighth in the 23 official sports, six demonstration and exhibition sports. The participation diplomas were handed out to all athletes, delegates and other participants in the Games. The citations and the participation diplomas were distributed to all NOC delegations. Others In addition to the medals and diplomas, awarding stands, medal pillows, bouquets, ribbons and pendants were manufactured for the Games. The awarding stands measured 90cm x 60cm. The podia for gold medalists were 60 centimeters high and the stands for silver and bronze medalists 30 centimeters high. The podia were painted white on the upper part and on the lower part were painted three stripes — ultramarine, orange and red. The gold medalist's stand was marked with a symbol of the first place and the Seoul Games sash, while the stands for the silver and bronze medalists did not show the sash but the number identifying the second and third places in the competitions. The medal pillows were 47cm wide, 32cm long and 25cm deep. The pillows were made of white melamine tray covered with satin and the Games sash, which were well becoming to the traditional Korean costume worn by the ceremonies personnel. For the design of bouquets, opinions of scores of specialists were considered by the SLOOC. From the many suggestions, three were referred to the final screening by the SLOOC and one of the three was adopted in the end. The taeguk-patterned fan and the victory — symbolizing gladiolus and phoenix were added to the originally adopted design of the bouquet to promote the Korean flavor. The ribbons were designed in the same way as those for the prize medals were made to produce a sense of unity. 13.5.4 National Flags and Music —————————————– National flags Production of the national flags requires extreme caution as it is apt to cause international discord. The SLOOC collected materials related to the national flags from 140 NOCs on two occasions in March 1985 and July 1987. Based on these materials, the SLOOC produced the samples of the national flags with a uniform size of 20cm by 30cm, and began to gather the confirming signatures from embassies in Korea and NOCs. By the end of July 1988, 159 out of the 160 NOCs which took part in the Games had confirmed their national flags as manufactured by the SLOOC. Only Bahamas failed to make such confirmation. After several rounds of inter-ministerial consultations and estimations, the SLOOC finalized in December 1987 the number of national flags to be needed at the Games to be around 26,255. It also estimated some 113,000 hand-size flags would be needed for the Games. The small sized flags were donated entirely by the Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. without putting its mark on the flags.
From April to July 1988, the national flags were manufactured as the samples earned the approval of the NOCs and governments concerned. The flags were produced in different sizes. There were seven kinds of big-sized flags, and four kinds each of middle 80. Official invitation to the Seoul Olympics mailed out over the signature of IOC President Samaranch. 81-1.
