“Thought it was finally time to tell you the long-awaited question … how did I break my medal? How did I get the world’s most expensive coaster?” Williams asked.She explained there was a bar on the medal that held the ribbon on it, and recalled the moment after winning it in which she was swinging the medal around in celebration.
“I had it on my shoulder like a little purse, and I was just jumping, dancing, jumping,” Williams continued. “And I jumped down, and it just fell off. So everybody was dancing, and I was roaming around trying to get my medal off the ground. It has a dent now, so it’s definitely one-of-a-kind.” “I don’t know if I’m going to get it fixed. We are waiting to hear from the IOC, the Olympic Committee. They said I could probably get one. I had to prove to them that it was, in fact, damaged, but now we’re just waiting to see. If not, honestly, I think it’s a cool, funny story.”that “amaged medals will be systematically replaced by Monnaie de Paris and engraved in an identical way to the originals.
