The Milan Winter Olympics opened just a few days ago, and several athletes have already encountered the embarrassing situation of broken medals. The Swedish athlete's silver medal fell into the snow and broke in half, the American athlete's gold medal fell off the lanyard and cracked, and the German athlete's bronze medal was also damaged during the celebration.

The organizing committee has launched an investigation into a series of damage incidents. The problem may stem from the built-in safety release mechanism of the lanyard, which automatically loosens under stress to prevent choking. It is currently uncertain whether athletes can replace the damaged medals.
