Medal display: the best solution to showcase your sporting achievements
After a few races, medals accumulate.
And very quickly, a question arises:
👉 What do we do with them?
Drawer, box, shelf…
Ultimately, they disappear.
👉 A hidden medal is a forgotten achievement.
1. The wall medal holder: the obvious solution
Simple, effective, durable.
-
all medals + bibs in one place
-
space-saving
-
clean and structured look
👉 It's the only solution that truly highlights your journey.
2. The souvenir frame: good… for a single medal
A frame works for:
-
a marathon
-
an Ironman
-
a significant moment
But:
-
long to prepare
-
costly
-
impossible to multiply
👉 Perfect for one or two medals, unusable for progression, a journey of several years.
3. DIY: economical but frustrating
Hangers, hooks, DIY…
-
not very aesthetic
-
not very sturdy
-
no enhancement
👉 Your medals deserve better than a hanger.
4. Individual medal holders: the false good idea
One medal = one holder at €10 on average.
On paper, it's clean and easy to install.
In reality:
❌ The price explodes
-
10 medals → €100
-
20 medals → €200
Personally, I accumulated 32 medals in 10 years → €320 = the price of a bib for an Ironman 70.3!
👉 Your progress becomes a… financial problem.
❌ The wall becomes unusable
-
you have to group everything together = OK for a maximum of 10 medals
-
beyond 10 medals, it takes up a lot of space
❌ The result is disappointing
-
the ribbons disappear
-
no overall view
👉 You no longer see your journey, just pieces.
Why a wall display changes everything
A good wall display allows you to:
-
see all your medals at once
-
create a real "finisher zone"
-
keep a clear view of your progress
👉 It's no longer storage, it's enhancement.
Conclusion
Your finisher medals (trail, marathon, or triathlon) are not just objects.
They are memories, efforts, goals achieved.
👉 They deserve to be seen.
