OREANDA-NEWS The Paris Mint has received 220 requests to replace medals from the 2024 Olympic Games. This is reported by France24.

"The Paris Mint has replaced some of them and is continuing the replacement operation at the request of the athletes," the statement said. It is noted that the new awards will be identical to the originals, but they will have a protective varnish applied to enhance durability.

Earlier it was reported that the participants of the 2024 Games in Paris returned more than a hundred defective medals. Prior to that, French swimmers Clement Secchi and Johan Ndoye-Brouard, as well as American skateboarder Niga Houston, complained about the quality of the awards.

The Olympic Games in Paris were held from July 26 to August 11, 2024. In the homeland of the Olympic Games in Greece, the opening ceremony of the tournament was considered the collapse of civilization due to the fact that transvestites portrayed the Last Supper.
