Olympics star reveals SHOCKING condition of his medal just over a week since winning it in Paris

Team USA skateboarder Nyjah Huston revealed the poor condition of his Olympic medal just over a week after competing in Paris.

Huston, 29, bagged a bronze medal in the French capital, falling behind gold medalist Yuto Horigome of Japan and fellow American Jagger Eaton in the men’s street final.

Days after returning Stateside, Huston took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the quality of the hardware he won at the games.

‘Alright, so these Olympic medals look great when they’re brand new,’ he says.

‘But after letting it sit on my skin with some sweat for a little bit and letting my friends wear it over the weekend,’ Huston continues before pausing and flipping the camera to his medal.

The lack of quality in the medal is then seen with the bronze color chipping away from several areas of the piece.

‘They’re apparently not as high quality as you’d think,’ he said before zooming into the chipping colors. ‘It’s looking rough.’

While the back of the medal was significantly more damaged, the font was not safe from the chipping either, as Huston flipped it over for the camera.

‘I don’t know, Olympic medals, we gotta step up the quality a little bit,’ he says in the clip.

Huston is a 12-time gold medalist in the X Games and a six-time gold medalist in the World Championships. Additionally, he has nine silvers and four bronzes across both competitions.
