Olympic gold medals aren’t solid gold.
They’re sterling silver at the core, strengthened with copper, and finished with a thin electroplated gold layer. Structure from silver. Protection and symbolism from gold.
Materials science is everywhere, even on the podium 🥇

Freezing rain = smooth glaze ice. Ice expansion = pipe problems. Salt = temporary truce with physics.
Move slow and enjoy the snow day safely ❄️🧊
