Lynn Williams, a forward for Team USA's soccer team, accidentally broke her gold medal from the 2024 Paris Olympics during celebratory activities. While swinging the medal around didn’t help, it actually broke when she was dancing with the medal draped over her shoulder. The bar holding the ribbon in place detached, causing the medal to fall and sustain a dent. Williams humorously criticized the International Olympic Committee for the medal's lack of sturdiness and is in contact with them about a possible replacement. Other Olympians, including skateboarder Nyjah Huston, have also expressed concerns about the quality of the medals. Despite the mishap, Williams remains proud of her achievement and finds the incident amusing.
