Pentathlon Medal Hanger

Five disciplines, and medals from all of them

Modern pentathletes compete in their individual sports as well as the combined event, so the collection is mixed by definition — fencing here, swimming there, a laser run somewhere else, and the pentathlon medals on top.

A display that groups them says something a shelf cannot: that one person did all of it. This one is cut from stainless steel, mounts on standoffs that hold it clear of the wall, and takes a second unit flush alongside when it fills.

Mixed collections look better grouped by discipline than by date, so it is worth deciding the arrangement before hanging rather than after — the rail lets you slide medals along without unhooking anything.

This medal hanger is produced in the widths below. If you are buying it as a gift, size on the collection they already have rather than on what looks right on the wall.

Size & capacity

Not sure which size?

Five disciplines plus the combined event means volume from a single season. Start at 60 cm.

Made from one sheet, not assembled from parts

The medal holder is laser-cut from a single piece of AISI 304 stainless steel, 2.5-3 mm thick depending on the width. Nothing welded on, nothing to come loose.

Medals hang on a continuous rail rather than individual hooks, so you're limited by the width of the bar and nothing else.

Mounting

Everything is in the box: stainless standoffs, screws, wall plugs and a paper template. Mark through the template, drill, done — about ten minutes.

Running out of room

Buy a second and line it up directly beneath or beside this one — the proportions are designed so a pair looks intentional. The widest version holds up to 110 medals across three rails.

Getting it to you

This medal holder is made to order in the EU and on its way within 3–5 working days, with fourteen days to send it back if it isn't right.
