But since the swimmer is depicted in the sea, it is possible that it is also a triathlon medal: the triathlon format, included in both men’s and women’s Olympic events, involves athletes completing 1,500 meters of open water swimming, 40 kilometers of cycling, and finishing with a 10-kilometer run. Antique medal, circa 1900, signed S.J. Sport jewelry collection.
