Olympic skateboarding bronze medalist Nyjah Huston recently talked about his medal and revealed that it's not as fancy as people might imagine.

After being disappointed in being the third placer at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, Huston didn't mince his words after a week of handing it to his friends and placing it on his chest.

He showed off a noticeable chapped part and said, "It's not as high-quality as you'd think, look at that thing, it's looking rough."

His revelation is not just a casual complaint. By pointing out the not-so-great quality of his medal, Huston aims to bring awareness to an often-overlooked aspect of Olympic awards.

The shiny, polished image of Olympic medals often leads people to assume they're flawless and of top-of-the-line.

The Olympic bronze medalist's experience shows that even prestigious awards have their downsides. "Medal looking like it went to war and back," he said.

People tend to focus on the prestige and honor associated with the medal rather than the craftsmanship.

Huston's honest comments remind us that these medals, although meaningful, may not always be the superior pieces we anticipate.

Huston is sharing his thoughts to provide a more down-to-earth perspective on Olympic awards and to highlight an aspect of the sport that's often overlooked.

"I guess the medals are meant to be in cases." He said, "Not meant for the send."
