‘Not as high quality as you’d think’ gasps Olympics star as he shows state of medal just one week after winning it
AN OLYMPIC star has shown off a worse-for-wear-looking medal just one week after winning it.
Nyjah Huston won bronze for the USA in the Men’s Street event on his skateboard at the Paris Olympics.
Hutson, 29, has since returned to America and is staying in Laguna Beach, California.
The skateboarder had been enjoying his break with friends and soaking up the sun as well as showing off his new medal.
However, the medal is no longer looking as clean as it was when awarded to him.
In an Instagram video he shared, the medal could be seen looking battered and peeling.
Hutson insisted that the quality of the metal may not be as “high” as he initially thought and called for it to be improved.
He said, “Alright, so the medals look great when they are brand new.
“But they look worse after I let them sit on my skin with some sweat for a little while and let my friends wear them over the weekend.
“They are apparently not as high quality as you would think.

“I mean look at that thing, it is looking rough.
“Even the front is starting to chip off a little so I think the Olympic medals need to step up the quality a little bit.”
In a separate post, he added: “Medal looking like it went to war and back.
“I guess the medals are meant to be in cases. Not meant for the send.”
Fans were in agreement with Hutson as they reacted to the video on social media.
One posted: “Looks like you won that thing in 1982.”
A second wrote: “What a piece of trash from the Olympics.”
A third commented: “What quality huh?”
A fourth said: “Did you keep the receipt?”
Another added: “The gold one is fine. Try that next time.”
