When you win your Olympic medal, feel free to stop this practice. Until then, shut up.

No.
I'm prepared to bite a bronze medal until my teeth break, cause that's what champions do.
The "joke" is that you're checking to see if it's real gold, so the athletes biting their silver & bronze medals look especially dumb.
i'm another one who dislikes it
but whatever
douchebaggery is prevalent and everlasting

No its not. Its to see if it is a real coin.... like when I was selling newspapers in the 50's. So, even the gold medalists look dumb.
Have you noticed that the British rarely do this? It's because their jank-ass teeth would break if they tried.
The press basically require them to do it.
They also need to stop handing everyone a flag to wipe their sweaty body all over.
This is newish, wasn't done 20-30 years ago.
Last night Centro had no shirt on, covered with a flag, sweating on it, draping on the ground, totally unacceptable if understand flag etiquette.

The gold medals are made of silver.
According to four time Olympic medalist Summer Sanders, winners mainly bite their medals mainly because the photographers incessantly ask them to until they do it, usually at the end of the podium photo shoot sessions.

They should refuse.
The worst part is that it inspires hobby joggers to do it with their finishers medals, and then they fill up Facebook with their pictures. That really makes me want to puke.
