Despite the hard work and dedication it took to earn their Olympic medals, over 100 frustrated athletes have decided to return them after signs of deterioration appeared.
One of the first to complain about the quality of the medals was Team USA skateboarder Nyjah Huston, who said his bronze medal looked like it had “gone to war and back.”
“These Olympic medals look great when they’re brand-new, but after letting it sit on my skin with some sweat for a little bit and letting my friends wear it over the weekend, they’re apparently not as high quality as you’d think,” he shared along with a photo of the chipped medal.
