Organizers from this year’s Olympics are under fire after a top athlete from Team USA’s skateboarding team revealed the condition of his bronze medal.
It’s only been a week since he won the great honor but the current of his medal says so much.
On Thursday, the 29-year-old showed his followers on Instagram how his medal started to chip shortly after he returned to the USA. Within no time, the story started to gain traction and Olympic organizers promised to replace all the damaged goods.
Paris 2024 is well aware of the social media report from one athlete whose medal started to show damage a few days after it was awarded.
As reported by one spokesperson for the games, the management is taking notice and working close by the side of the Monnaie de Paris which was tasked to look over the production and quality control of these medals.
Together, they with the National Olympic Committee of the athlete concerned, will ensure a full investigation of what was wrong and under what circumstances the medal tarnished so quickly.
Many have slammed the Paris Olympics as the worst Olympics in history due to a host of issues and this just seems to add more embarrassment on the part of authorities.
