“东京奥运会银牌2年就成废铁”？运动员“吐槽”引发热议

近日，皮划艇运动员郑鹏飞发文“吐槽”，称自己2年前在东京奥运会获得的银牌已经严重氧化，变为“废铁”。这一评价引发了网友们的热议。

郑鹏飞在社交平台上写道，“我这奥运会奖牌放家里将近2年的时间，今天拿出来一看，就这样了，成废铁了。”他还表示，“国内随便一个比赛奖牌的质量都比这个好”，但也有可能是自己保存不当，这枚奖牌成为家里为数不多出现氧化情况的奖牌。

Zheng won the silver medal in the Men's Canoe Double 1000m at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games held in 2021. "After only two years, the medal has become like 'scrap iron.' Any medal made in China is of better quality than this. Maybe I didn't store it properly, but it is one of the few oxidized medals I have," Zheng posted on his social media account.

对于郑鹏飞分享的“奖牌氧化”事件，网友们纷纷发表自己的看法。

有一些网友表示，“银牌氧化说明银是纯的，因为只有纯银才应该在空气中发生这样的变化”。

A few netizens took a scientific view. "The oxidization of silver medals shows the silver is pure as only pure silver ought to change like this in the air," one said.

有网友宽慰他，表示“奖牌褪色，但荣誉不会褪色”。

Some netizens consoled him by stating that the medal is only symbolic, while others questioned its commemorative significance if its quality is poor.

也有网友指出这似乎不是东京奥运会的奖牌第一次遭到“吐槽”。

据北京日报，早在2021年，就有运动员发文称东京奥运会的金牌会“掉皮”。

当年8月24日，奥运健儿朱雪莹在个人微博中发文称，刚结束奥运会没多久，自己的金牌已经掉了一大块皮。

随后，游泳冠军汪顺表示自己的金牌也出现了同样的情况。

东京奥运会官网介绍称，自2017年4月起，日本开始回收小型家电和废旧手机，用以提取纯金、纯银和纯铜制作奥运会奖牌。截至2019年3月，已收集约7.8万吨废旧小型电子设备和621万部废旧手机。据悉，东京奥组委采取这一措施是为了显示其在“可持续发展”方面所做的努力。

According to the official Tokyo Olympics website, Japan started collecting small home appliances and used cellphones in April 2017 to extract pure gold, silver, and copper for manufacturing Olympic medals. By March 2019, approximately 78,000 tons of used small electronic devices and 6.21 million used cellphones had been collected. It was reported that the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee implemented this measure to demonstrate their commitment to "sustainable development."

不过，也有不少网友将奖牌问题与日本核废水倾倒问题联系起来。他们表示，日本核废料污染导致的食品安全问题比银质奖章的质量问题更重要。

Nevertheless, a significant number of Chinese netizens connected the issue of the medal to Japan's disposal of nuclear wastewater. They believe that food security, affected by Japan's release of nuclear-contaminated wastewater, is more important than the quality of the silver medal. "Fortunately, the medal isn't made of nuclear waste," one person commented.

也有网友称这让自己想起当年“烧不坏”的北京奥运会金牌。2021年1月7日，俄罗斯体操运动员Daria Valeryevna家中失火，几乎所有东西都被烧得面目全非，但她在废墟中找到的北京奥运金牌却完好无损，连绶带也完整保存了下来。

据了解，北京奥运会奖牌绶带采用桑蚕丝和涤纶化纤双面精织提花而成，且经过了高科技纳米处理，具有防水、防蛀、防污、防火，永不褪色等特性。

The incident also reminded some others of a Russian gymnast's medal won in the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. It was said that after a fire at her home, nearly everything was destroyed except her gold medal.
