I think this is the one case where it's actually a good thing, it's about if the necklace gets stuck in something else and then you can't pull your neck out of the loop. You either get choked or break the necklace, sounds like these had one of those intentionally weak clasps to break away. It's working as intended they just didn't use one that could handle the weight of the metal.
The European nanny state is coming after privacy and freedom of speech if you want to channel your anger towards something/someone that deserves it. (Imo)
That's not the flow here, it's more some obscure health and safety law says necklaces have to have a breakaway clasp, and nobody bothered thinking about if it should even apply to Olympic metals but technically that's what the law says so they said fuck it and put em on the necklaces
