The gold medal is the noun. Winning is a verb or more accurately a present participle, occurring after an adjective and preposition. 'ing' forms as nouns are gerunds, for example, 'Smoking is bad for you'. Smoking here is a gerund because it is an activity, like reading or swimming and acts as a noun.
