Every July, Australians always turn their attention to sports events and historical celebrations. Whether it is the passionate moments of the Commonwealth Games or the deep look back at Aboriginal Heritage Week, the glory of this land is always closely linked to the symbols of the national flag, national emblem and medals. On the Australian flag with a blue background and white stars, the Southern Cross guides the direction, and the Commonwealth Star embodies unity. The kangaroos and emus in the national emblem interpret the national spirit with a never-retreating attitude; the blooming acacia symbolizes tenacious vitality. These images are sublimated in the gilded design of sports medals – the medals of the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games turn the Commonwealth Star into the crown of the winner, and use the acacia pattern to outline the footprints of the strivers. Each medal is not only a witness to the peak of competition, but also a concrete expression of the national spirit: those star rays point not only to geographical coordinates, but also to the direction of breaking through oneself; the creatures and plants in the national emblem remind us that true victory does not lie in defeating the opponent, but in surpassing yesterday's self. When athletes hold their medals close to their hearts, they are touching the collective heartbeat of the entire nation. From the indigenous athletes running across the scars of history to the new legends written by the descendants of immigrants on the field, these metal discs carry not only personal honor, but also the sparks of multicultural integration. Just as acacias still bloom in drought, this southern hemisphere country always believes that true glory always belongs to those souls who are willing to go all out for their ideals in adversity.

每年7月，澳洲人總會將目光投向體育賽場與歷史慶典。無論是英聯邦運動會的熱血時刻，或是原住民文化遺產週的深沉回望，這片土地上的榮耀總與國旗、國徽和獎牌的象徵緊密相連。在藍底白星的澳洲國旗上，南十字星指引方向，聯邦之星凝聚團結。而國徽中的袋鼠與鴯鶓，以永不後退的姿態詮釋著民族精神；盛放的金合歡則象徵著堅韌生命力。這些意像在體育獎牌的鎏金設計中得到昇華——2022伯明翰英聯邦運動會的獎牌，將聯邦之星化作勝利者的冠冕，用金合歡紋路勾勒出拼搏者的足跡。每一枚獎牌不僅是競技巔峰的見證，更是國家精神的具象化表達：那些星芒指向的不僅是地理座標，更是突破自我的方向；國徽中的生靈與草木，提醒我們真正的勝利不在於擊敗對手，而在於超越昨天的自己。當運動員將獎牌貼近心口時，他們觸摸到的是整個民族的集體心跳。從原住民運動員跨越歷史傷痕的奔跑，到移民後代在賽場上書寫的新傳奇，這些金屬圓片承載的不僅是個人榮譽，更是多元文化交融迸發的火花。正如金合歡在乾旱中依然綻放，這個南半球國度始終相信：真正的榮耀，永遠屬於那些在逆境中仍願為理想全力以赴的靈魂。
