As for who’s to blame, Lynn joked that she’s not taking responsibility for the damage.
“I just think that they should a have made these better, they should have made them more sturdy,” she said of the medals, which contain a piece of the Eiffel Tower. “And honestly, I can’t be faulted for that.”
The Olympian added that she has reached out to the International Olympic Committee about getting the hardware replace, but noted, “I don’t know if I’m going to get it fixed. If not, honestly, I think it’s a cool, funny story.”
