The visual has been released for the event "Anime 'Medalist' Special Exhibition 2026," which is scheduled to be held on August 30.

The first season of the TV anime "Medalist" aired in 2025, and the second season broadcasted from January 2026 on TV Asahi's 24 affiliated stations nationwide under the “NUMAnimation” block and other networks. Based on a highly talked-about manga, the original work has won numerous awards, including 1st place in the Print Manga Category of the “Next Manga Awards 2022” and the General Category of the “48th Kodansha Manga Award,” and a theatrical film adaptation has also been confirmed for release in 2027.

Inori Yuitsuka and Tsukasa Akeuraji cross paths as "athlete and coach," each harboring a powerful dream for figure skating. Aiming to become a glorious "medalist," Inori builds up her track record at the Meiko Cup and the West Japan Junior High and Elementary School Championship. After passing her badge tests, she finally earns the qualification to compete in the same rank as the "genius girl" Hikaru Kamisaki. Her next goal is the Chubu Block Championship, with a spot in the All-Japan Championships on the line. Surrounded by new rivals, a story unfolds where Inori sets out to prove that she can shine the brightest.

The event will take place at Bellesalle Takadanobaba, with a lineup of performers including Natsumi Haruse, Takeo Ōtsuka, Kana Ichinose, Natsuko Abe, Taito Ban, and Emiri Katō.
