Why do they bite their medals?

Why do they bite their medals?

They get screamed at by the photographers to do so.

Because of and historically it's to test if the metal is actually gold. Gold is quite soft you see.

This, even though it's probably the most hackneyed pose they could ask for.

Which is funny because it isn't real gold, it's silver with a gold vaneer

Do they leave teeth marks tho?

Is there even any gold in these medals?

you can bite silver too

phelps has won so many that you would think he knows by now that they are not real gold.

Am i going blind? fuck

To save money Brazil used those novelty chocolate coins as medals.

The reason you haven't heard about that is because the Brazilian police would "detain you for questioning" and "suggest" you "offer" a "donation" to "charity" for insulting their glorious, superpower, universally admired and feared nation.

Unsanitary as fuck. Just imagine how many Brazilian monkeys put their bare hands on those medals while making them.

To check if it's real gold

Leave gold medal winners to me.

bacteria wouldn't survive on a dry metal surface for long

amerifats can't stop eating

...

they think it's chocolate, like those coins

They're made out of silver and then colored gold.

>Brazil
>Police

to see if they're chocolate or not

Didn't this start at London 2012 with the photographers asking for it all the time?
