American skateboarder Nyjah Huston left Paris with a highly coveted Olympic medal. 

Although the closing ceremony for the Paris Olympics took place on Sunday, a recent photo from Huston showed the surprising condition of the prized medal.

"All right, so these Olympic medals look great when they are brand new," Huston began in a video posted to Instagram before showing some of the medal's wear and tear. "But after letting it sit on my skin with some sweat for a little bit and then letting my friends wear it over the weekend, they are apparently not as high quality as you would think."

"It's looking rough. Even the front is starting to chip off a little," he said. "Olympic medals, you gotta maybe step up the quality a little bit."

Huston earned the medal several days ago following his third place finish in the men's street event in Paris. Other medalists have spoken out about the overall quality of the medals that were awarded to third place finishers at this year's Summer Games.
