They say medals may tarnish, but memories last a lifetime.

For American skateboarder Nyjah Huston, that saying has proven true — perhaps sooner than anticipated.

After winning bronze in men’s street skateboarding on July 29, Huston took to social media on Thursday, showing off his medal. It was not looking shiny and new.

“Alright, so these Olympic medals look great when they are brand new,” he said in an Instagram stories post, “but after letting it sit on my skin with some sweat for a little bit and then letting my friends wear it over the weekend, they are apparently not as high quality as you would think.”
