This Olympian Shared What His Medal Looks Like After 5 Months, And It's Looking Real Rough
If you remember, Nyjah Huston won an Olympic bronze medal in men's street skateboarding. His bronze medal used to look like this: But after a week, it looked like this: Like, the bronze was literally coming off of it. "Even the front is starting to chip off a little. Olympic medals maybe gotta step up the quality a little bit," he said in an IG story. WELL, we have a new medal drama. Hunter Woodhall won a gold medal in the Men's Para Athletics 400m T62. As you can see, it looks totally beautiful etc. Perfectly gold! Well, not anymore. He now has a dilemma about what to do with it: @hunterwoodhall/ Instagram: @hunterwoodhall So, for context, he accidentally tore the ribbon. The issue is that the medal is permanently attached to it, which makes removing it impossible without damaging the medal. He has two choices now. He can send the medal back, and they can send him back a BRAND NEW medal. OR he can keep the medal and sew the ribbon up himself. It also has some dings FWIW. "Keep the tear and tell your future kids it's from all the hard work you put in for the medal." @hunterwoodhall/ Instagram: @hunterwoodhall / Via reallnaii Another person said, "stitch it up with golden thread." Personally, I'm with this person who says he should frame it. Those medals have an awful track record and that thing is gonna be dust before you know it. @hunterwoodhall/ Instagram: @hunterwoodhall / Via thatsarz
