Abstract
 
"The upcoming 2014 Winter Olympics, scheduled to be held in Sochi, Russia, will have some very unusual gold medals for several event-winners. As recently announced by Russian olympic officials, a few of the gold medals for next February's games will have pieces of the meteor that struck the Russian city of Chelyablinsk earlier this year. The meteorite medals will be handed out on February 15th, 2014. This will mark the one-year anniversary of the terrifying incident that injured 1,600 people, and destroyed thousands of windows as well as large amounts of property in the city."
