""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.""
""They don't, like, let you have multiple of those things," she said with a laugh."
""My medal don't need the ribbon," Liu wrote early Monday."
Multiple athletes at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics experienced medals detaching or breaking during opening-weekend celebrations. Women's downhill gold medalist Breezy Johnson reported her medal broke while she jumped in excitement and received a replacement before the next event, though engravings remained pending. German biathlete Justus Strelow lost a medal when a clasp appeared to snap off as he danced with teammates. U.S. figure skater Alysa Liu posted footage of her team-event gold detached from its ribbon. Olympic organizers said they are investigating the incidents with "maximum attention," and replacements have been provided in some cases.
