American skateboarder Nyjah Huston also expressed disappointment:
“The medals look great at first, but after some sweat and handling, they don’t hold up. Mine even started chipping.”
British diver Yasmin Harper noticed tarnishing and suspected water damage under the metal.
Mixed Reactions from Fans and Experts
Some fans criticized the medal quality, comparing them to century-old keepsakes in better condition. Others defended the medals, attributing the changes to natural oxidation and improper maintenance.
