Following the unexplained "peeling" of the gold medals of Chinese athletes such as Zhu Xueying and Wang Shun in the Tokyo Olympic Games, Thai athletes have also encountered the same situation recently.
According to Japanese media reports on the 2nd local time, Thai Taekwondo Athlete panipak umbadanaji said that her first gold medal for the Thai team and the 49kg gold medal of women's Taekwondo had "lost its skin". Thailand won a total of 1 gold and 1 bronze in the East Olympic Games. She revealed that the surface of both medals fell off.
Umbadanaji felt very sad about this. She hoped that the Thai Olympic Organizing Committee could coordinate with Japan to replace the damaged medals. The latter said it planned to contact the Tokyo Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games and put forward a replacement request.

In late August, shortly after the end of the Tokyo Olympic Games in Japan, the Chinese athletes who were still in isolation after returning home, swimming champion Wang Shun and trampoline champion Zhu Xueying, successively said that the gold medal they won in the Tokyo Olympic Games had fallen off to varying degrees.
The matter triggered a heated discussion on the Internet, and netizens joked, "you may be able to pull out chocolate again".

According to the global times, the response given by the Tokyo Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games at that time was that the falling off part was not gold plating, but the coating film on the medal surface, in order to prevent small scratches, dents and stains on the medal and play a protective role.
The Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee also explained that the material of the film itself determines that it will not be permanently attached to the medal surface, but even if the film is stripped, it will not affect the material of the medal.

Only a month after this incident, foreign athletes also reported the same situation for the first time.
According to Japan's current affairs news agency reported on the 2nd local time, the world's No. 1 Thai taekwondo athlete and the women's Taekwondo 49kg champion of the Tokyo Olympic Games, onbadanaji showed photos of the gold medal.

She said that she encountered the same situation as Chinese athlete Zhu Xueying, and even the position of "peeling" of the gold medal was similar.

According to Thai media reports, this gold medal is of great significance to Thailand. It is not only the first gold medal won by the Thai team at the Tokyo Olympic Games, but also the first taekwondo gold medal in Thai history. This victory marks a new breakthrough in Thailand in addition to boxing and weightlifting.
For umbadanaji, this gold medal is of great significance. At the age of 24, she previously won a bronze medal in the Rio Olympic Games and became the third athlete in Thai history to win an Olympic medal. After five years of honing, she finally won a laurel in Tokyo. The news that she won the championship also brought great excitement to Thailand, which was beset by COVID-19, and the national mood was high.

Such an important medal has "lost its skin", which is difficult for ongbadanaji to accept. "I feel very sad." when she mentioned it in an interview with Thai media on the 1st, she was very sad. At the same time, she also revealed that the same situation had happened to the bronze medal won by another Thai boxer.
This is about Thai boxer sudapong sisongdi. She won the bronze medal in the women's 60kg boxing competition in the Tokyo Olympic Games and became the first woman boxer in Thai history to win an Olympic medal.

It is worth mentioning that the Thai team won a gold medal and a bronze medal in the Tokyo Olympic Games. I didn't expect that "the whole army was wiped out" and all of them were "peeled off".
In this regard, ongbadanaji hopes that the Thai Olympic Organizing Committee can communicate with Japan and help her change a new intact medal as a souvenir. "This is a very important medal for me. I hope to change one."
The Thai Olympic Committee then responded that it planned to contact the Tokyo organizing committee and ask it to replace umbadanaji with a new gold medal.
