Quality of Paris 2024 Olympic medals criticised after visible deterioration in just one week

Quality of Paris 2024 Olympic medals criticised after visible deterioration in just one week

A member of the USA skateboard team has criticised the quality of the Olympic medals after the bronze he won started to deteriorate.

Nyjah Huston revealed the markedly different condition of his medal just a week after winning it in Paris, with the backside of the medal chipped and losing its bronze colour.

“So these Olympic medals look great when they’re brand new,” Huston said in the video posted on Instagram. “But after letting it sit on my skin with some sweat for a little bit and letting my friends wear it over the weekend…” before zooming in on the damaged medal to show the damage.

Huston is no stranger to collecting medals, having won gold 12 times in the X Games and six times in the World Championships. He also has nine silvers and four bronzes across both competitions.
