Olympic star reveals SHOCKING condition of his medal, just over a week after winning it in Paris

Team USA skateboarder Nyjah Huston revealed his medal was in bad shape just over a week after competing in Paris.

The 29-year-old Huston won a bronze medal in the French capital, finishing ahead of gold winner Yuto Horigome of Japan and compatriot Jagger Eaton in the men’s street final.

A few days after returning to the United States, Huston shared his thoughts on Instagram about the quality of the hardware he won at the Games.

“Okay, these Olympic medals look great when they’re brand new,” he says.

“But after I let it sit on my skin for a while and treated it with some sweat, and after I let my friends wear it over the weekend,” Huston continues before pausing and focusing the camera on his medal.

The lack of quality of the medal is evident from the fact that the bronze color is chipping off in several places.

“They’re obviously not as high quality as you would think,” he said, before zooming in on the crumbling colors. “It looks rough.”

Although the back of the medal was significantly more damaged, the font was not spared from damage, as Huston turned the medal over for the camera.

“I don’t know, Olympic medals, we need to raise the quality a little bit,” he says in the clip.

Huston is a 12-time X Games gold medalist and a six-time world championship gold medalist, with nine silvers and four bronzes in both competitions.

Although his Olympic debut ended in a podium finish, his prized memento of the Games soon lost its prestigious aura after his victory.

“The medal looks like it’s been to war and back,” Huston added.
