Well, the medals are now mostly silver.

"Turns out Olympic gold medals are actually, ironically, mostly made from silver. Specifically, they’re 92.5 percent silver. However, they are plated with six grams of gold, so at least there’s that."
That's dissappointing. I thought they were made of chocolate wrapped in gold leaf.
