Iryna Herashchenko, the bronze medalist in the high jump at the 2024 Olympic Games, said that her medal began to change its appearance over time. The 29-year-old athlete admitted that the trophy had become a bit frayed around the edges.

"The award is starting to come off, but it's because the copper is starting to galvanize. In short, chemical processes are going on there that are hard for me to describe, even though I had 10-11 in chemistry. But I don't remember anything from that time," Herashchenko said in an interview with CE.
