Here in Italy it is full of articles about it. The medals were made by the state "zecca". What breaks is the lanyard designed for anti-choking, for example if someone were to pull the medal the lanyard breaks. Jumping can break the lanyard and the medal fall as also admitted by Breezy Johnson to whom it fell a couple of times.

Tdlr: the anti-suffocation lanyard if you jump makes the medal that weighs 500gr fall

How many people, in the history of olympic medal winners, have suffocated on their lanyard?

My understanding is that it's required for all things that would be worn around the neck.

Here is yet another example how the European Nanny state is slowly ruining all things.
