Bronze medal – third place 1924 Paris Town planning

Julien Médécin (3 November 1894 – 26 January 1986) was a Monegasque architect. He won a bronze medal in Designs for Town Planning at the 1924 Olympics in Paris (no gold medal was awarded that year). He received his medal for his design of the Stadium for Monte Carlo in Monaco.[1]

He remains the only Monegasque competitor to have won an Olympic medal in any discipline; however, art competition medals are no longer recognized by the International Olympic Committee. As a result, Monaco, which has appeared in 31 Olympic Games as of 2021 (21 summer and ten winter), has the most Olympic appearances without a medal.
