Yasmin Harper’s bronze medal may already be discoloured but nothing will take the shine off a memorable Olympic debut for the diver.

The 24-year-old collected Team GB’s first medal of Paris 2024 alongside Scarlett Mew Jensen in the women’s 3m synchro a fortnight ago but was unable to double up in the 3m springboard, finishing fifth.

US skateboarder Nyjah Huston took to social media earlier this week to reveal the deterioration of his bronze medal amid question marks as to the quality of the Paris 2024 silverware and the City of Sheffield Diving Club ace confessed hers is no longer in mint condition.

“There has been some small bits of tarnishing, I will admit,” she said. “It’s going a little bit.

“I think it's if water or anything gets under it, it makes it go a little bit discoloured, but I’m not sure.

“It doesn’t really bother me, it’s still a medal.”

Shocking footage shows cars swerving onto footpaths during violent brawl
A violent fight between two groups of men in which a car was driven at pedestrians has been caught on video. Shocking footage shows two groups of men armed with batons during a violent altercation in Manurewa, Auckland, New Zealand, on August 9. A red vehicle can be seen swerving onto the pavement and hitting one member of the rival group at the entrance of what appears to be a cul-de-sac. One man retaliates by striking the car with a rod-like object before a second vehicle - a black estate - comes out, hitting the red car before chasing after the rival group. Shortly after a third vehicle - a white minivan - joins in and swerve onto the footpath hitting another man.
