What were the mens slopestyle medals? Pandas?

What the fuck were the medals awarded to Alex and Nick?! I would be pressed if I got a lil panda thing and not a traditional medal in the form of a necklace.

They still get medals, I think they get it at the medal ceremony.

Does anyone know why they’ve been handing out the pandas vs real medals? Are they a participation award?

Its been a thing the last few olympics, summer and winter. Actual medals are awarded along with the playing of national anthems at a central location. The cute pandas are just for the photo op right after the event.
