Paris Olympic Medals Disappoint Athletes
Following the Paris Summer Olympics, athletes returned over 100 medals, citing damage that occurred within less than a year.
The awards were reported to have chips, scratches, and even rust. Athletes jokingly referred to them as "wartime trophies" on social media.
Paris Mint's Response
In response to criticism, the Paris Mint, responsible for producing the medals, took action by dismissing three directors in charge of production and quality control.
The incident has raised questions about the quality of the medals and the reputation of the event itself. Athletes expressed disappointment, emphasizing that the medals represent years of dedication and hard work.
