"After the Paris Olympics, my medal also deteriorated," Hasrat Jafarov, Paris 2024 bronze medalist in Greco-Roman wrestling, Azerbaijani wrestler told APA.
He underlined that the quality of the medal had deteriorated just 3 days after the tournament: "When I returned home, the people who greeted me said that my medal was of poor quality. Everyone asked me why the medal was in this condition. However, I had received my medal 3 days ago. My medal had deteriorated in just 3 days. Now the situation is getting worse day by day. The color of the medal is fading and it is also rusting."
Like many athletes, he is also thinking of returning his medal:
"If I knew that they would replace it with a new and high-quality medal, I would return my medal."
Noted that more than 100 athletes from around the world have sent their medals won at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games to the tournament's Organizing Committee because they were of poor quality.
