Golfers Carlota Ciganda and Belén Mozo have been awarded the Olympic Medal of the Spanish Olympic Committee, as proposed by the COE's Distinctions Commission. The award will be presented to both of them during the 2008 Golf Gala, which will take place as every year in mid-December.

The aforementioned Distinctions Commission of the Spanish Olympic Committee establishes this recognition for those athletes who win medals in an Olympic Games, in a World Championship or European Championships or in high-level tournaments, recognized by the corresponding International Federation, provided that these results were achieved in the year preceding the application for the distinction.

The COE Executive Committee, on the proposal of the Distinctions Committee, has awarded the Olympic Medal to Carlota Ciganda from Navarre for achieving first place in the European Women's Team Championship and for being a member of the team that won the Vagliano Trophy, the same arguments used in the awarding of the Olympic Medal to Belén Mozo from Cádiz, who also won the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational in the NCAA.
