Athletes at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics have reported their medals breaking off of ribbons or cracking outright. Organizers are working to fix the issue.

Alysa Liu, who was among the figure skaters who won gold for the U.S. in the team figure skating event, posted a video on Instagram Sunday of herself holding the detached gold medal with the caption “My medal don’t need the ribbon.”

Breezy Johnson, who won gold for the U.S. in the women’s downhill skiing event, also reported medal issues, saying after her win “don’t jump in them. I was jumping in excitement, and it broke. I’m sure somebody will fix it. It’s not crazy broken, but a little broken.”

Jackie Wiles, who won bronze for the U.S. in women’s team combined skiing, also reported issues, as did Dutch speed skater Jutta Leerdam.

Other athletes saw the medals themselves crack, including German biathlete Justus Strelow, a bronze medallist, and Swedish skier Ebba Andersson, a silver medallist.

“The medal fell in the snow and broke in two. Now I hope the organisers have a ’Plan B’ for broken medals,” said Andersson, according to Reuters.

An Olympics spokesperson told USA Today that organizers, working with Italy’s state mint, are now implementing a “targeted fix” for the medals. Athletes with broken medals, they said, should return them so they can be repaired.

“We are aware of the situation. … obviously we are paying maximum attention to this matter, as the medal is the dream of the athletes, so we want that obviously in the moment they are given it that everything is absolutely perfect,” 2026 Milan Cortina Games Organizing Committee Chief Games Operations Officer Andrea Francisi said.

There have also previously been issues with the medals awarded at the 2024 Paris Olympics, with metal deteriorating and medals looking as if they had “crocodile skin.”
