Embarrassing! Over 100 Paris Olympic Medals Returned, While the Gold Content of Beijing's "Gold-inlaid Jade" Medals Continues to Rise The French Olympics, which have already concluded, continue to be a source of embarrassment. In contrast, the "gold-inlaid jade" medals from China's 2008 Beijing Olympics have returned to public attention in a unique way, with the "gold content" of these medals still on the rise. For the performance of the medals at the Paris Olympics in France, one can't help but question whether it is appropriate to do so for the sake of "environmental protection." Now, more than 100 Olympic medals have been returned... The "gold-wrapped iron" that is embarrassing As the world's largest comprehensive sports event, it not only showcases the style of athletes but also tests the strength of the host country. However, over 100 medals have now appeared with serious oxidation and have been returned by the athletes, which is undoubtedly a slap in the face for France. The Olympic gold medal, as the highest honor in the sports world, carries the efforts and struggles of countless athletes. However, the initial champions actually received silver medals instead of gold medals. Since Pierre de Coubertin founded the modern Olympic Games in 1896, the first modern Olympics was held in Athens, Greece. Gold was considered inconsistent with the ancient Olympic spirit, so only the top two finishers in each event could receive medals, that is, silver and bronze medals. The first gold medal was actually born at the third Olympics held in the United States in 1904. It was the…

It is a shame that 100 medals from the Paris Olympics have been returned due to severe discoloration and oxidation issues. This news has caused widespread mockery from around the world. The medals were made primarily of recycled metals, which are less stable and more prone to oxidation. Additionally, the paint used on the medals was changed for environmental reasons, but this new paint had not been adequately tested, leading to further problems. The Paris Organizing Committee's focus on environmentalism may have come at the cost of medal quality, disappointing athletes who worked hard to earn them. In contrast, the gold medals from the Beijing Olympics, known for their "gold inlay jade," continue to maintain their value and quality. These medals were designed with durability in mind, featuring an invisible protective layer that prevents damage from falls or wear. Even the ribbons on the medals are crafted with unique Chinese techniques, as evidenced by a Russian athlete whose Beijing Olympic medal survived a house fire unscathed. The attention to detail and commitment to quality in the Beijing Olympics reflect the Chinese spirit of craftsmanship and dedication to excellence.

360 Million Annual Salary + Team Shares! Cristiano Ronaldo's King-Bomb Renewal On January 15th, Beijing time, the famous journalist José Félix Díaz from Marca exclusively reported that Cristiano Ronaldo has renewed his contract with Al-Nassr for another year. What are the conditions for the renewal? After-tax annual salary of 183 million euros, monthly salary of 15.25 million, weekly salary of 3.8 million, daily salary of 550,000 euros. In just a few years, he easily retains the top spot in the world's football player income rankings. Saudi Arabia is so generous because it's worth it. On the field, compared to Neymar who almost played every game, Ronaldo scored 44 goals and created 56 goals in a single season. He broke various goal-scoring records and attracted huge attention to the Saudi league. Neymar, with a two-year contract after-tax of 300 million, only played 428 minutes, costing 700,000 euros per minute. This angered Al-Hilal so much that they didn't even register him. If he wasn't a well-known figure, he would have been taken away long ago. Saudi money isn't that easy to get. Off the field, Ronaldo has always been "causing trouble." He insisted that the Saudi league is among the top five in Europe and firmly stated this in multiple public occasions. On January 19, 2024, Ronaldo said in an interview at the Dubai Globe Awards ceremony: "The Saudi League is not worse than Ligue 1." "The Saudi League is more competitive than Ligue 1. After playing there for a year, I can say that we are now better than Ligue 1."…

Two days ago, a news story about the Paris Olympic medals topped the trending list, quickly sparking heated discussions among netizens. Olympic medals are supposed to be symbols of infinite honor, yet over 100 have been returned to Paris in disgrace. Some jokingly said that the bronze medal they received resembled a piece of "crocodile skin." Others were more supportive, claiming it wasn't a medal but a hundred-year-old Parisian antique. This caused netizens to exclaim that Paris has truly embarrassed itself this time, with the shame spreading globally. So why are so many medals being returned? If there's anything that can validate an athlete's efforts and achievements, Olympic medals are undoubtedly the most powerful proof. When once-celebrated athletes find themselves in trouble, medals can also serve as a quick way to make money. Athletes who have fought hard for their honors on the field return home only to find their medals rusted. This makes most athletes feel very uncomfortable, leading some to return their rusted medals. This isn't the first time this has happened; soon after the Olympics ended, people started returning their medals. By the 13th, British newspapers reported that over 100 gold medals had been returned. The next day, the international Olympic Committee addressed the issue, stating that all problematic medals would be replaced. Last August, French athletes noticed this phenomenon shortly after receiving their medals, saying they looked "smashed and oxidized." Some medals even began discoloring before the Olympics concluded. Harper mentioned that her bronze medal had lost its luster and was starting to fade. When the…

In the eyes of every professional athlete, reaching the Olympic stage is the ultimate goal, and winning a medal in the Olympic competition is seen as the pinnacle moment of their career. However, recently, many athletes who won medals at the Paris Olympics are finding it hard to be joyful. On January 14th, news that over 100 Paris Olympic medals were returned quickly trended on social media, leaving many netizens surprised: Why would these athletes, who worked so hard to win medals, have them taken back half a year later? In fact, the decision to recall the medals was not the original intention of the French Olympic Committee; it was only after many athletes voiced their concerns that France agreed to take back the medals. As early as mid-August 2024, American skateboarder Houston, who won a bronze medal, posted a video online claiming that just ten days after receiving the medal, its condition had significantly deteriorated, with the plating starting to peel off and the surface looking dull. Subsequently, a member of the French relay swimming team also shared their bronze medal online, finding that its condition was even worse than Houston's, with severe oxidation and paint peeling, leading netizens to jokingly compare it to "crocodile skin" or a newly unearthed "ancient relic" from Paris, but it was hard to believe this was a medal won just half a year ago. In fact, two weeks after the opening of the Paris Olympics, the organizers knew there might be issues with the medals. Irish rower Lynch revealed that his medal was…

According to renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward Moussa Diaby will join Juventus on a pure loan deal, with the Turin club taking on the player's full salary. With Diaby's move to Juventus, PSG's significant investment in the French forward is considered to have been wasted. In the summer of 2023, PSG spent a transfer fee of 95 million euros to bring Diaby from Eintracht Frankfurt to the Parc des Princes. Prior to joining PSG, Diaby had an impressive record, contributing 26 goals and 14 assists in a single season for Frankfurt. He also nearly helped the French national team retain the World Cup title in Qatar in 2022. However, despite his promising form, Diaby struggled to adapt at PSG. In his 19 months at the club, he became somewhat of a spectator. This season, he has only played 14 Ligue 1 games, scoring 2 goals with no assists. His performance in the UEFA Champions League has been equally disappointing. Under coach Christophe Galtier, the 95-million-euro forward seems expendable. Due to his underwhelming performances at PSG, Diaby's market value has plummeted. As the player with the biggest drop in value in world football in 2024, the French forward's value has decreased by a staggering 40 million euros. Currently, Diaby's value has fallen from 95 million euros upon joining PSG to just 30 million euros. For Juventus, however, securing a player like Diaby is a stroke of luck. Even though his value has diminished, as a key striker for the French national team, the 26-year-old still possesses considerable…

For the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, under the leadership of rookie coach Kompany, they currently lead the defending champions Bayer Leverkusen by one point with one less game played in the league. Alonso's team has not lost since being defeated 4-0 by Liverpool in the Champions League on November 6, 2024, and has achieved a 10-game winning streak in the league, cup, and Champions League, showing an unstoppable momentum that vaguely resembles the invincible Bayer Leverkusen from last season. Seeing the strong momentum of Bayer Leverkusen, perhaps Bayern Munich's heart is also somewhat shaken! At least in Kompany's mind, it is absolutely not so calm, after all, if there is any slip-up in the league, the championship will be lost. In January's winter window, Bayern Munich is ready to make a spectacular move in the transfer market. Bayern midfielder Kimmich almost left the team last season, with Bayern setting a transfer price of 35 million euros, but he eventually chose to stay. The 29-year-old German international has played 24 games for Bayern this season, scoring 1 goal and contributing 6 assists. Currently, Kimmich is negotiating a contract extension with Bayern, and rumors of his departure are rife, as Kimmich's agent is himself, and he openly admits to having talks with several clubs, believing that his chances of staying are greater than last year, but he has started to listen to offers from other teams. There is a saying in the football world, Kimmich is the ball-blind filter within Bayern fans! Kimmich is known for his physical fitness and super stability,…

Recently, foreign media reported a shocking news: as many as 100 medals were returned by athletes during the 2024 Paris Olympics. These medals, which should have been symbols of the hard work and heroic efforts of the athletes on the field, are now controversial due to quality issues. This incident has quickly attracted widespread attention and heated discussion around the world, not only casting a shadow over the image of the Paris Olympics but also raising deep doubts about the production and quality of the medals. During the Olympics, some athletes complained about the quality of the medals on social media. French swimmers Clementine Seguin and John N'Doye-Brouard posted photos of their bronze medals after winning, joking about their severe oxidation. The medals in the photos were covered with mottled rust marks, as if they had been washed by the vicissitudes of time, forming a stark contrast with the Olympics that had just ended not long ago. Clementine Seguin even described the medal as being like "crocodile skin," rough and dull, lacking the solemnity and holiness that an Olympic medal should have. As time went on, more and more athletes found similar problems with their medals. American skateboarder Nyjah Huston posted on social media less than 10 days after the Paris Olympics ended, complaining that his bronze medal was already rusted. He helplessly expressed that the medal looked like a veteran who had gone through countless battles and had lost its former glory. Nyjah Huston's complaint quickly resonated with netizens, who all expressed disappointment and dissatisfaction with the quality of…

On January 13th, Beijing time, according to French media reports, about 100 medals from the Paris Olympics were returned by athletes due to rapid oxidation of their appearance. It is truly speechless that such prestigious Olympic medals have experienced severe quality issues, which has undoubtedly dampened the spirits of the medal recipients. The French media revealed that at least 15 months ago, even before the start of the Paris Olympics, the medals had been plagued with defective varnish problems that remained unresolved. Last August 8th, American skateboarder Nyjah Huston openly complained that within just ten days of receiving his Olympic bronze medal, its condition deteriorated to the point of being unrecognizable, with a dull surface and noticeable rust and black spots. In December last year, two French swimmers showcased their Olympic bronze medals on social media. Despite the Olympics having ended only a few months prior, these medals were already in a state of disrepair. Brouard wrote, "Paris 1924," suggesting that the medal looked like it was from a century ago. His teammate Seki described his bronze medal as looking like "crocodile skin." Currently, approximately 100 Paris Olympic medals have been returned by athletes due to rapid oxidation. Although the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has assured that the medals will be replaced, this situation is indeed embarrassing. In contrast, the "Gold-inlaid Jade" medals from the Beijing Olympics are still well-preserved, indestructible by fire or impact, and their value continues to rise when compared to others.

This season, Greenwood, who joined Marseille, is also playing well in the French league and gradually finding his game form. In the current Ligue 1, Greenwood has also made a remarkable performance. In the match against Rennes this round, Greenwood performed an excellent push shot goal, followed by a beautiful cross in the game. Helped his teammates score, and finally the whole game Marseille defeated Rennes 2-1. Among them, Greenwood alone created 2 goals, which also proved his strength. After this game, Greenwood scored 11 goals and sent 4 assists in the Ligue 1 this season. The performance of creating 15 goals alone also allowed Greenwood's value to return to 100 million euros again, and many top teams were very interested in this young talent. It should be noted that in the previous two seasons, Greenwood was suspended and not trusted due to his off-field drama. Manchester United could no longer withstand the huge pressure and chose to give up this talented player who had been cultivated for many years, selling Greenwood at a very low price. But now it seems that Greenwood has successfully realized his talent and become a super talent in the football world. His value will return to 100 million euros, and many top teams hope to sign him, but on the contrary, Manchester United has always been unable to find a player who can provide stable goals this season. Losing Greenwood also makes the team need to spend a lot of money to sign other forwards. It is completely understandable that some young talents cannot…
