An Olympic skateboarder has criticised the quality of the Paris 2024 medals after his has started to visibly deteriorate. US athlete Nyjah Huston revealed that a week after placing third in the men's street skateboarding final on 29 July, his bronze medal has appeared to chip and lose its colour.
The first features a 18g hexagonal token which is made from iron taken from the Eiffel Tower. The centrepiece token is surrounded by rigged grooves that evoke rays of light. The second features the Greek goddess of victory, Nike, as she has done at every Olympic Games since 1928 - with the Acropolis to one side and the Eiffel Tower to the other. The bronze medal in particular weighs 525g and is made from copper, tin and zinc alloy.
