      Gold is malleable. Thats y ppl bite into gold to check whtr its real or not. This is how ppl back then did it. Of coz this gesture is translated to winners in sports telling ppl that its gold. But silver and bronze , for some reason, followsuit and in time hasbecome a tradition regardless of ranking and since medals r just gold plating, this gesture nowadays is merely symbolic

    0:54 I remember watching this live and it was so cute because the two Italian gymnasts bit into their medals (gold and bronze) and the Chinese gymnast was just like “Oh we’re biting into our medals? Okay, alright then…. I guess I’ll bite into mine too?”

    The earliest recollection I can recall for medal biting was 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics when Canadian Gold medalist snowboarder Ross Rebagli bit into his medal when someone asked if it was real gold. In true Canadian spirit he obliged the person.
    Also, the towels waved by fans in games was started by Roger Nielsen, coach of the Vancouver Canucks in 1982 putting a white towel on a hockey stick in protest by surrendering to the referees.

    The Olympics make billions and can’t afford to make solid gold medals. This is why I boycott the Olympics. Athletes only get paid if they place. And first is only 35k. Imagine if the players in the superbowl only got paid 35k if they won the game. EACH teammate gets paid an extra 164,000 USD if the team wins the Super Bowl on top of their salary. And the superbowl makes less than the Olympics.
