Brazilian judoka breaks Olympic medal in shower
LONDON – A Brazilian judoka accidentally broke his Olympic bronze medal when he brought it into the shower. Now he’s fighting to have it replaced.
Felipe Kitadai said he was carrying the medal everywhere. He took it with him to the shower as a joke, then dropped it while trying to keep it from getting wet.
Kitadai told Brazil’s GloboEsporte.com that the part holding the medal’s string broke, and now he can’t wear it around his neck. He said there’s also a small dent on it.
