Poor quality
Two of our heroes exchange Olympic medals
Winning Olympic medals is the ultimate goal of almost every athlete. Once you have them at home, you expect to enjoy them for the rest of your life. This is not the case with a certain number of bronze medals from the Summer Olympics in Paris. A sharp decline in the quality of the medals has prompted an exchange campaign.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The ÖOC confirmed an Ö3 report that Michaela Polleres and Jakob Schubert also want to exchange their bronze medals.
According to a report by the French portal "La Lettre", over 100 athletes are said to have already returned their damaged medals.
Reason still unclear
When asked by dpa, the state mint Monnaie de Paris, which produced around 5,000 Olympic medals, did not give any figures, but confirmed that there had already been an initial exchange request in August. On the one hand, the Monnaie wants to find out the reason for the damage, and on the other, all damaged medals are to be exchanged over the next three months.
