\n In case you missed this news, some Olympic medals have broken as soon as athletes have gotten their hands on the coveted rewards. Women\u2019s downhill champion Breezy Johnson was the first to find out that some medals have issues when the ribbon broke off her gold medal while she was celebrating.\n <\/p>\n
\n Does Johnson have advice for those fortunate enough to make the podium?\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cYeah. Don\u2019t jump in them,\u201d she explained at a press conference. \u201cI was jumping in excitement, and it broke. I\u2019m sure somebody will fix it. It\u2019s not crazy broken, but it\u2019s a little broken.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n Johnson later pulled out her prize and showed how the medal itself, the ribbon, the joint between the ribbon and the medal all split apart.\n <\/p>\n
\n Johnson, who won downhill gold on Sunday, showed the media how her medal, the ribbon and the joint between them split apart.\n <\/p>\n

<\/picture>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n The issue surfaced again when US figure skater Alysa Liu posted a video on social media<\/a> showing that her medal had also separated from the ribbon.\n <\/p>\n \n Later on, German biathlete Justus Strelow suffered the same fate with his teammate Philipp Nawrath saying, \u201cJustus immediately took advantage of (us having a party) to jump and dance again. Unfortunately, the medal broke at that moment.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n Milan Cortina organizers told CNN they identified a solution, saying, \u201ca targeted fix has been put in place.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
