Default Gold Medals to contain a hidden surprise

The gold medals given out on Feb 15th will contain fragments of the meteor that fell on Russia exactly one year before. Neat!

No word on whether they'll also be bugged...

For anyone who doesn't want to read, only 10 of the gold metals will contain any trace of the meteorite, 40 will be sold to private consumers, also these 10 are only given out on feb 15

Is February 15th a day that Russia is favored to win gold medals?

Wait? What? You can BUY Olympic medals? Well, damn, that HAS to be easier AND less expensive than years of training and dedication.
