Sydney Marathon medal features wrong stadium image ahead of event

Organizers of the Sydney Marathon face scrutiny after a medal design mistakenly depicts Munich's Allianz Arena instead of Sydney's Allianz Stadium. This design oversight was noted after the marathon's social media account unveiled the double-sided medal ahead of the event scheduled for August 30. About 40,000 runners are expected to participate following over 120,000 entries. The medal's design includes elements representing Sydney's skyline and a gold and indigo pattern created by First Nations artist Ambrose Killian. The incident follows a similar mix-up at last year's Great North Run.
