PHOTO: USA’s Bronze Medal Skateboarder Nyjah Hutson Exposed The Incredibly Poor Quality Of His Olympic Medal, Which Looks Like It Went Through War After Just One Week

Hutson even posted a direct message that read, “looks like ya won that thing in 1982 mate.“

However, it could just be a simple case of oxidation. According to gsa.gov, bronze will take on a flat, dark brown surface when exposed to oxygen for too long, which can easily be cleaned.

Either way, though, when you’ve worked so hard for a major achievement, it can be hard to see that the reward is poor quality.

Nyjah Hutson Secures Third-Ever American Medal in Men’s Streek Skateboarding

The 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo was the first year that skateboarding was introduced in the Olympics.’

Obviously, with it being a new sport in the games, there isn’t a lot of history behind it yet, but America has already shown to be a strong competitor.

In 2020, American Jagger Eaton won the first-ever American medal for the event, securing bronze, following up in 2024 by winning silver.

However, Hutson was behind Easton, winning the bronze and his first career Olympic medal.

That puts America ahead in terms of all-time medals for men’s street skateboarding.
