THE Paris Olympics concluded just four months ago, but some medals have already started to deteriorate in quality. French swimmers Clement Secchi and Yohann Ndoye-Brouard have both shared shocking images of their bronze medals on social media. First, Secchi showed off his prize with a caption that read: "Crocodile skin.".

In the image, the front of the medal has irregular bronze patches where the colour has changed and worn away. Meanwhile, Ndoye-Brouard joked his medal was from 1924 as opposed to 2024. The duo won them together after finishing third in the 4x100m medley relay.

Athletes began complaining about the state of the medals just weeks after the Olympics ended. American skateboarder Nyjah Huston revealed that his bronze medal began deteriorating just days after he won it. He said: "Alright, so 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 and then letting my friends wear it over the weekend, they’re apparently not as high quality as you would think.
