New Olympic Medals Causing Some Confusion

New Olympic Medals Causing Some Confusion

That's definitely a medal...

You might be getting sad that we're starting to come to the end of the Euros but have no fear because the Rio Olympics is just round the corner. And with Olympics comes medals and apparently make up too.

Every four years the Olympics comes around as the greatest celebration of sport possible. There's literally something for everyone with golf and rugby sevens joining the likes of football, tennis and boxing as 'mainstream' sports.

Whilst we all love a story like Derek Redmond being helped by his dad over the line at the 1992 games in Barcelona for the athletes it's all about getting their hands on a shiny medal at the end. This year's editions were revealed a couple of weeks ago:

However a different picture of the bronze medal this week, in the case the medals come with, has caused a weird reaction with many Instagram users apparently mistaking the third place prize for highlighter, the make-up rather than the kind of marker you only pretend you need.

That's pretty much the only thing the comments say and it goes on. Sorry ladies but that's not a beautiful highlighter, it's a beautiful medal, well not that beautiful because it's not a gold or silver but you know...
