Olympic bosses investigate why medals are breaking

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Milan-Cortina 2026 organisers say they are "looking closely" at why Olympic medals are breaking after several athletes experienced issues with theirs.

Two of the USA's gold medallists, Breezy Johnson and Alysa Liu, revealed the ribbon had come away from the medal soon after they received their prize.

Johnson, who won gold in the women's downhill alpine skiing, showed her broken medal at the post-event media conference.

"So there's the medal. And there's the ribbon," she told reporters. "And here's the little piece that is supposed to go into the ribbon to hold the medal, and yeah, it came apart."

I was concerned that the medals were breaking, that would be a scandal.

2. It seems there's.....

always problems with Olympic medals. The medals from the last summer Olympics in France had their covering flake off, now this.

Donald Trump is gonna be pissed-off when he steals some Olympic athlete's gold 🏅 medal and, finds out it's not solid gold, but the ribbon breaks off too!

Der Gropenfuhrer will not be happy about this! 🤬
