Uncommon silver winner's medal issued for boardsailing, a demonstration sport at the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics. Silver, 60 mm, 144 gm. The front depicts the Los Angeles Games emblem over Olympic rings and laurel branches; the reverse features a raised design of a windsurfer between text: "Citius Altius Fortius, XXIII Olympiad." Inscribed on the edge with the event's name: "Yachting, Olympic Boardsailing Exhibition, Men." The medal's loop and ribbon are absent, and the surface exhibits some scuffing and a few scratches. In 1984, windsurfing became the youngest sport ever to be included in the Olympic Games. Since then, sailboarding has always been part of the Olympic sailing competition.
