令人吃惊！奥运会发的奖牌居然出问题了！！

   “At least 130 medals won at the 2016 Rio Olympics have been returned to the organizers as they've begun to rust or developed black spots on them, ”the games' spokesman has announced on Friday. They said that it was really a pity because that kind of thing happened. They would do their best to deal with the problem.
        The effected medals, mostly bronze and including some from the Paralympics, are being fixed by the Brazilian Mint who were selected to make them for last year's event, communications director Mario Andrada told Reuters.
        “The most common issue is that they were dropped or mishandled and the beautiful decorations have come off and they've rusted or gone black in the spot where they were damaged,” Andrada said. “The second thing is that a small few, about 10, had problems with the extreme cold.” Andrada said the first problems came to light in October but called them completely normal. “The Brazilian Mint would fix any defects and return them, ”he added.
        A total of 2,488 medals were produced for the Olympics and hundreds more for the Paralympics. The silver and bronze medals were produced using 30 percent recycled materials. Gold medals must contain a minimum of six grams of gold and be at least 92.5% silver.
