A gold medal is the highest medal awarded for highest achievement in a non-military field. Its name derives from the use of at least a fraction of gold in form of plating or alloying in its manufacture. The award concept arose in the military, initially by simple recognition of military rank, and later by decorations for admission to military orders dating back to medieval times.
Since the eighteenth century, gold medals have been awarded in the arts, for example, by the Royal Danish Academy, usually as a symbol of an award to give an outstanding student some financial freedom. Others offer only the prestige of the award. Many organizations now award gold medals either annually or extraordinarily, including UNESCO and various academic societies.
While most gold medals are solid gold, notable exceptions are gold-plated and often silver-gilt, like those of the Olympic Games, the Lorentz Medal, the United States Congressional Gold Medal (displayed to the right) and the Nobel Prize medal. Nobel Prize medals consist of 18 carat green gold plated with 24 carat gold. Before 1980 they were struck in 23 carat gold.

Great track by user TMK34. It's a Hard track made a bit trickier by the fact the whole driving line is made up of interconnecting straight surfaces. Really plays tricks with the bike suspension. Still, as is usual for community made tracks on Track Central, the Gold medal is pretty easy to come by.
Here's another cool community level called Crystal Cave. Just a Medium track so a pretty easy first run Gold medal. Plenty of room for improvement on this time.
Taking time out of career mode to look at some of the awesome tracks made by community members, I stumble across this neat little Medium track by LatChoX. I get the Gold Medal on my first run here, but I notic a few different riding lines that could be taken depending on the bike chosen. Might have to revisit this track on the Pit Viper one day.

Beijing Olympics 2008 Michael Phelps 8 Gold Medal NBC Interview
Half cocked and fully loaded
Not even trying to sugar coat it
You're aimed at me
but you're shooting blanks
And it dosen't hurt thanks but no thanks
But it's a matter of time
Till you get yours, and I get mine
It might not be me
But you're gonna answer to
somebody Revolver
You've got one foot in your mouth,
and one foot in the grave
You were digging a hole,
and now you're digging a cave
It's not that funny anymore
By the time you wake up
sobered up and sore
I left my comebacks at the door
I didn't know what I was in for
You're deeper than you've ever been before
