On the podium

The Summer Olympics are well underway and there have already been dozens of medals awarded, so I thought I'd make a Midi to mark the occasion. This is my first unusual grid style creation and it's supposed to look like an Olympic medal but kinda just looks like a donut.... Oh well, I hope it's an enjoyable solve for you anyway!
