It's nothing. That you won it is what really matters.

They made it clear enough before the commencement of the tournament that those medals were not made from real Gold rather from waste aluminum.

NomzyJust:
Olympic medals are more than just the actual medal. It is more about going down in history as one who had won it than the physical medal itself. You don't also get just a medal; you get a diploma (not every competitor even knows this) and have your name written on the wall of the host nation's stadium.

Also the prize money is alot compared to the real value of the medal. It is actually an honour to win an Olympic medal.
So whether fake or real, peeling or not, you won it is you won it. It is what it is.

Olympic athletes don't get paid, their money is from the medal

My dad had 2 volleyball gold medal that was real gold (still have one). Too bad the world is becoming fake that a whole Olympic cannot afford gold for each 1st place. An historic event. undecided

If Japan's government cannot afford it, then tax the winners government or resell it to collectors.

The medals are like 98% silver then they just lazily put on a thin layer of gold it would be no surprise if the surface material actually comes off from basic scratches

It has not always been that way.

AFTER ALL THE HERCULIAN TASKS OF YEARS IN PREPARING FOR OLYMPICS,IOC AND JAPAN YU MUDT GIVE THIS GUYS SOLID GOLD NOT ELECTRO[LATED SHITTT undecided

https://www.thoughtco.com/what-are-olympic-medals-made-of-608456

To me, Olympic games is just overated. Can they use any of these skills in real life? See that useless pole vault that the person will jump and land on mattress. Go and try that nonsense when lagos agbero is pursuing you with cutlass. You land inside gutter and scatter your back again.

Pretty suspicious that this complaint is coming from the Chinese athletes. It's probably another one of their anti-Japanese propaganda
