A medal unveiled for the Sydney Marathon has been found to contain a design error, with online users identifying that it depicts a stadium in Munich rather than a Sydney landmark.
The mistake was spotted after the event revealed its double-sided medal. Following the unveiling, online sleuths examined the design and detected the incorrect stadium image.
The issue concerns the medal’s visual design rather than the race itself. The supplied material does not state when the medal was unveiled, how widely it had been distributed, or whether the error affects medals already produced for participants.
No official response from Sydney Marathon organisers, and no details of any planned correction or replacement, were included in the available information. The latest known development is that the error was identified after the medal’s public unveiling.
