Three medals/badges relating to the Baltic Games of 1914, a Malmo medal 1914, an official's badge and a gymnastics jury member's badge The Baltic Games was a collection of sporting competitions held in conjunction with the Baltic Exhibition held in Malmo in 1914. They were a direct result in the upsurge of sporting interest in the region after the 1912 Stockholm Olympic Games. The Baltic Games were divided into three competition periods, 7-10 June gymnastics, 28 June-12 July general sports events, and 6-9 August sailing, although the latter never took place because of the outbreak of World War One. The swimming competition lasted for 12 days and attracted the greatest number of international entries.
