More than 100 medals won at the Rio Olympics have been returned to organizers because they have rusted or developed black spots on them, the Games' spokesman said on Friday....


At least 130 medals, mostly bronze and including some from the Paralympics, are being fixed by the Brazilian Mint who made them for last year's event, the spokesman said.

A total of 2488 medals were produced for the Olympics and hundreds more for the Paralympics. The silver and bronze medals were produced using 30 per cent recycled materials.
