Apparently, Disorder Skateboards boss Nyjah Huston's bronze medal from the Olympics got messed up, but it looks like it's all good now. The company that made the medal is gonna hook him up with a new one real soon.
As we previously reported, Huston won the bronze on July 29 for men's street skateboarding, but then he noticed the medal was all tarnished and chipped just a few days later. He put up a video on Instagram Stories to vent about it.
The medal company, La Monnaie de Paris, heard Nyjah's complaints and promised to replace the messed-up medal. They even said they're gonna make sure the new one is engraved exactly like the original.
They're also trying to figure out what went wrong with Nyjah's medal. Bet he's gonna be hyped to get a fresh one, especially since this was his first time making it to the Olympic podium.
The folks from Paris 2024 said that if any medals get messed up, they'll hook the athletes up with new ones.
“Paris 2024 is aware of a social media report from an athlete whose medal is showing damage a few days after it was awarded,” said the spokesperson. “Paris 2024 is working closely with the Monnaie de Paris, the institution tasked with the production and quality control of the medals, and together with the National Olympic Committee of the athlete concerned, in order to appraise the medal to understand the circumstances and cause of the damage.”
