Comment

The Virtus Oceania Asia Games 2022 (OA Games 2022) is a regional event in the Oceania Asia region for elite athletes with intellectual impairment, held 5-11 November 2022 in Brisbane, Australia. This marks the first time that an international Virtus event has been held in the region.

One side of the medal represents the legacy of the gum blossom design from the Global Games 2019 Medal and the other side represents the Brisbane River, the place where both these Games have connection to and the place where future athletes will come back to.
