Here’s how people reacted to the video:

“Why is the Paris one losing its color?” inquired Phobe, another Instagram user.
A third person said, “The Japanese Mint’s finest created this medal. It is incomparable to French culture.”
Another person said, “The Tokyo one appears higher quality.” Designed in Japan.
American skateboarder Nyjah Huston had voiced his displeasure with the state of his bronze medal. “Well, so these Olympic medals look great when they’re brand new, but after they sit on my skin with some sweat for a little while and then let my friends wear it over the weekend, they’re apparently not as high they’re as you would,” the bronze medallist said, holding up the dull, rusted medal.
Subsequently, a Paris Olympics 2024 representative reassured the competitors that any damaged medals would be replaced.
