Former Olympic champion swimmer Roland Schoeman has blasted the Olympic committee for the alleged inferior quality medals handed out at the recent Paris Games. Schoeman was reacting to a social media post made by American skateboarder Nyjah Huston who won a bronze medal at the recently concluded Paris 2024 Olympics.“These Olympic medals look great when they’re brand new, but after letting it sit on my skin with some sweat for a little bit … they’re apparently not as high quality as you would think.”
American skateboarder, Nyjah Huston who won Bronze at the Paris 2024 Olympics has reservations about the quality of the medal after a week in possession of it.😱There have been other social media posts, too, about the quality of the medals and earlier this week, Schoeman compared the quality of a few medals in a post on Facebook.
