*After reading the article*
Patina is one thing but the front chipping is nuts.
The absolute shit quality is how you know it’s an authentic Olympic Medal ™
Do they not coat or treat the medals in some way to prevent this from happening, or is this just some weird fluke with this one medal? For all the egregious ways the IOC wastes money, I feel like the actual medals, themselves, would be one of the last places they’d cut corners.
Could it be that the protection can’t withstand exposure to alcohol? Just a thought. :P
Dang… Probably has that same sorta crumbly over porous texture of costume jewelry that was just plated.
France bragged this was the cheapest Olympics I guess that was a promise fully kept in all areas.
Cheapcore
Just open it and eat the chocolate already.

The plating is worst, should’ve mined it

Grab a spray can and clear coat them as soon as they hang it around your neck lol
Prooooooobably won’t be buying anything from them if their medals fall apart this quickly, haha.
They deserve it for only “winning” bronze.
Just being selected to the Olympics means the person is amongst the best in the world.
Even those that end last are better in their sport than most others on the planet.
Don’t take everything serious on the internet.
Especially from the president of the universe.
Yeah but those so valuable POSTERS they get
