Milan — The organizing committee of the 2026 Winter Olympics told CBS News it is “aware of the issue affecting a small number of medals and is investigating the matter,” after some athletes who won medals at the games reported they were broken.

“Don’t jump into them,” Breezy Johnson, who won the gold medal in the downhill for Team USA on Sunday, she told reporters after her race.

“I was jumping with excitement and it broke. I’m sure someone will fix it.” — it’s not like crazy broken — but it’s a little broken,” Johnson said.

American skater Alysa Liu, who won gold with her team on Sunday night, he posted a video on social media showing how her medal was also broken from the ribbon.

“My medal doesn’t need a ribbon,” she wrote.

In an interview with CBS News on Monday, figure skater Danny O’Shea, making his Olympic debut in Milan-Cortina, said he was cautious with the gold medal he won with his team on Sunday.

“We’re just trying not to jump around too much,” O’Shea said.

His teammate Ellie Kam told CBS News that her gold medal was, “definitely like a heavy weight to carry, but I slept with mine under my pillow, so I keep mine safe.”

German biathlete Justus Strelow was caught on camera shortly after his bronze victory, picking up his broken medal from the ground and trying to reattach it to the ribbon.

The video shows Strelow’s teammates dancing in celebration, and while he is off camera, his medal can be heard clinking to the floor. When the camera pans to him, he tries to reassemble his medal before giving up and continuing his dance.

Swedish local media reported that the country’s silver medal skier Ebba Andersson also disintegrated.

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

The Winter Olympics organizing committee told CBS News that it “takes the issue seriously, fully recognizing the significance these medals have for athletes.”
