Paris Olympics Medals Are Tarnishing, Putting LVMH in the Spotlight
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/20/business/medals-paris-olympics-lvmh.html
But its most significant role involved the Olympic medals, which were designed by Chaumet, a luxury jewelry and watch maker and part of the LVMH group. Gold,
silver and bronze — the very best athletes would take them back home as mementos of their feats at the Paris Games.
Now those medals are falling apart — and LVMH has fallen silent.
In just over 100 days since the Olympics closed, more than 100 athletes have asked for their crumbling medals to be replaced. Last month, Clement Secchi and
Yohann Ndoye-Brouard, French swimmers, showed their flaking medals on social media. “Crocodile skin,” Mr. Secchi wrote.
This is what two generations of offshore government industry looks like

What a disgrace. I could produce a better medal than those in my garage.

This was worse because they must have received an outrageous markup company french govt and olympic committee to
produce these medals
The Olympics are a huge money laundering operation
And to fuck it up this way is embarrassing
They did not cut costs they just failed technically
This was bad engineering
