I've been searching for info on these three sports medals for days, but I'm unable to find anything. Any help would be much appreciated.

Medal #1. Appears to be dated July 25, 1926.

Closeup of print in above photo. I could be wrong, but it appears to read "Ed. Scherm Neg."

Those medals are from a German-language country/area, thus probably German, Austrian or Swiss. The inscription "3. Preis" (or "3. Pr.") means "3rd Prize".

"1. FCZ" ... the FC usually means Fußball-Club (ie. football/soccer club), and the Z probably refers to a city. There is an FCZ in Zurich for example, but it could of course be from some other place with a "Z". Now the fourth line of the first medal could be "100 m JUG. (something)", and that distance would rather refer to running or swimming. "JUG" is probably "Jugend", ie. "youth".

NLM _could_ mean Nationale Leichtathletik-Meisterschaft(en), National Athletics Championship(s). At least I can tell you what the text in the close-up means. "ED. SCHERM NBG" refers to the manufacturer, a company named Ed. Scherm in Nürnberg.
