Oh good, the medals are chipping teeth

The Olympic medals being presented here are the heaviest in history, apparently. They're the kind of Olympic medals a person could use to bludgeon another person to death, if they were of a mind to, which they are presumably not. This would be terribly un-Olympian.
The Olympic medals being presented here are the heaviest in history, apparently. They're the kind of Olympic medals a person could use to bludgeon another person to death, if they were of a mind to, which they are presumably not. This would be terribly un-Olympian.

That being said, you still wouldn't expect a medal winner to chip a tooth while posing with his medal, would you? No, you would not. And you would be wrong.

"The photographers wanted us to bite into our medals at the presentation ceremony and a corner of my front tooth broke off," Moeller said, according to Eurosport.

Sigh. Well, time to start up that whole worst-Olympic-ever thing again, right?
