  1. no the front is the solid side


  2. Most photos I have seen taken of athletes with their medals, including the one of He Kexin that is all over the place, the athletes hold the medals with the solid side facing front. I think it makes for a better picture. The jade kinda takes away from the real color of the medal since it is such a large percentage of the 'front'. I think the athletes decided for themselves that the jade side should become the 'back' of the medal as evidenced by the countless photos.
