Zhu Xueying won her olympic gold medal in Tokyo this year in trampoline gymnastics and she is claiming that her gold medal is already peeling!! She posted to her social media profile this week a photo of the medal where you can clearly see there's some damage. She says that at first she thought the mark was dirt but then it grew bigger over time. The medals are actually not solid gold, they are made mostly of silver and coated in at least 6 grams of pure gold. Reused metals are donated by the public. The Olympic committee did comment saying that the peeling is in fact a protective coating and that the gold underneath is completely fine. Read more from TMZ HERE.
