# Olympic Games: The French Mint has received 220 requests to replace medals won at the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics. Athletes have complained that their medals have become tarnished or chipped, sometimes within weeks of the Games ending last year. According to the French Mint it has replaced some of them and is continuing its replacement operation at the request of the athletes. The International Olympic Committee said in January it would systematically replace “defective” medals.
