Nyjah Huston highlights the quality of her Olympic bronze medal

TEAM USA skateboarder Nyjah Huston, who won the bronze medal at the Olympics on July 29, posted a video to your Instagram story on the evening of August 8, suggesting that the Olympic medals were not as high quality as some might have expected.

“Okay, so these Olympic medals look great when they’re new, but after leaving them on my skin with a little sweat and then letting my friends wear them over the weekend, they’re apparently not as high quality as you would think,” he said, before showing viewers an up-close view of the medal.

“I mean, look at that thing. It seems difficult. See you forward. It’s starting to break down a little. So, yeah, I don’t know, Olympic medals, maybe we need to up the quality a little bit.”

Parts of the medal appeared rusty and dull, especially when reflected in sunlight. The back of the medal, which features an illustration of the Greek goddess of victory Nike, looked particularly worn and it appeared as if part of the surface coating had come off.

One of Huston’s followers jokingly responded to the story by saying “Looks like you won that thing in 1982, man.”

Olympic medals are made from different materials, depending on the type of medal in question. During the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, the gold medals were mostly made from pure silver, with 6 grams of gold plating placed on top. Silver medals were made from pure silver, while bronze medals were made from 95% copper and 5% zinc.

For the medals accompanying this year’s Olympics, the Paris 2024 Athletes’ Commission decided that the medals should contain an original piece of iron from the Eiffel Tower.
