He said himself he wore it while sweaty and let his friends wear it as well. Doesn’t give an excuse for the damned thing degrading in a week.
But sure, criticize the winner not the people who made it. Typical.
A week is enough time? Nah.
Neither of those have happened - it’s tarnished brown and chipped but not green nor pitted.
This isn’t bronze rot. This is poor quality plating that’s being stripped by bodily oils in less than a week. I’ve bought bronze-plated cheap Chinese jewellery that’s lasted for years under strenuous conditions before greening or pitting.
I seriously doubt this fast. The Olympics have always had bronze medals. This is the first time we're seeing this..
