How many medals, trophies, do you have?
When you win or come second or third you get awarded Medals trophies, ribbons etc. You also have memories that go along with these.
Do you keep them displayed or hidden away?
I had the tropies displayed in our living room. All of the medals were hidden away. In 1978 we had a break in and all the trophies, medals and of course other things were stolen.
But I still have my memories of my swims even though I have no visual touching and feeling. No one has stolen my memories yet.

My age group trophies, high point, mvp plaques etc. are in the room I had growing up at my parents house. They sit exactly as I left them, well with a little more dust, as when I moved out at 17. I have a strange assortment of age-group ribbons in my spare bedroom right now. When I was earning them I would carefully put them in one of those 12-section divided folder type things, actually I think it was some kind of coupon saver, it's long and skinny, with about 15 sections, along with the log books where I would record all of my times.
