At the Paris 2024 Olympics, athletes are competing for what is claimed to be the most valuable gold medal in Olympic history, valued at US$950 (RM4,250). Despite their appearance, these medals are composed of 95.4% silver with a thin gold coating, leading to concerns about their quality. Notably, American skateboarder Nyjah Huston, who won his first Olympic medal, a bronze, expressed disappointment when his medal began to show signs of wear shortly after receiving it. He criticised the quality on social media, urging improvements to the durability of future Olympic medals.




Before you say Made in China, A French luxury jewellery firm based in Paris designed the medals and 5,084 of them were produced by France's mint, the Monnaie de Paris.

That's what bronze looks like after oxidization la.

Instead of giving solid gold medal, now they give prize money so the athletes don't need to sell the medal if need money.

I guess bronze no colour change

What did you expect? Poorfag B40 CCP troll never handle real bronze before

Within 100 years, a great wealth transfer began. Most people have no idea of it and don't wanna know about it.

American skateboarder Nyjah Huston complain but China kena pulak!

My bronze watch also patina like this after few weeks of wearing.

Uncultured people don't know about patina, they expect bronze to remain shiny, bodohs.

Yeah, same with my other jewellery and watches. Poorfag TS bodo.

google cakap medal like for gold need at least 6% gold and 92.5% silver, the rest u can use whatever u like.

but saw in douyin french 1 put 18g of eiffel tower iron. thats why the rust?

china 1 put jade, but angmoh dont know jade value in china.

edit* nvm looks like they only complain about the bronze where some of it chipped as well

Janji famous got Olympic medal

Yeah sweat especially will do that. Need to polish all the time I also lazy now just wear those with rubber strap haha. Certain waterproof ones can use ultrasonic cleaner nowadays cheap.

Can rub with distilled vinegar... But I prefer the patina looks and aged well

even that bronze medal, ayam deal with aluminum bronze alloy before, it won't be this dull in just few days

All budget went to opening ceremony perhaps

Gold plated is still worth more than bronze only.

At least they can submerge

Bronze is alloy, won't oxidized. Coz copper oxide formed will protect the alloy.

Huh i thought its supposed to be solid gold? Min also 916 la

Topkek got smart sohai people showing bronze won't oxidation..

Topkek sei sohai

just market it as patina... +300% value....

itu made in france(?) special feature.. jgn persoal
