Track & field 4 x 100 meter relay 1st place medal with Greek mythology on the obverse. I believe the obverse represents ( The Olympic Games ) with the goddess Athena in the chariot with her helmet on, carrying a sword and holding an owl on her out stretched hand. Also a solider handling three horses depicting the chariot races in the competition during the games.

Although all the information is on the medal I have not been able to find the where & who ( as in team ).

1928 track & field events and W.A.C. I have found online:

- 1928 summer Olympic games in Amsterdam, Netherlands

Womens 1st place - Canada
Mens 1st place - USA

- 1928 Summer Student World Championship Paris France

1st place - Germany

- W.A.C. - Wiener Athietiksport Club in Vienna Austria ? (Mainly known for it's football team)

- Trials for the 1928 summer Olympics were held in many countries.

For me this is a great medal especially with the Greek mythology design on the obverse and being a 1st place medal it would be nice to solve the mystery of this medal.

Any information regarding this medal is appreciated, thanks in advance to all.................
