Is Jade Jones a Charlton fan and has she ever shown off her medals at the Valley?

Just getting ready for the Taekwondo semi final and my old man and I are having a discussion about Jade Jones. He reckons she is Charlton through & through but I couldn't find anything on the net. Apparently she was at the Valley once showing off her medals.
Can any lifers clarity this?

That Taekwondo wasn't much of a spectator sport, I was expecting some sort of Jean Claude Van Damm / Bruce Lee type business - it was like watching a hopping competition.

It varies for each games. In Rio the "gold" medal is silver gilt. That is silver with gold plating. The London "gold" also had some copper in it. The "silver" medal is actually silver but the London version also had some copper in it. The "bronze" medal is mainly copper with a hint of zinc. The London "bronze" medal also had some tin in it. Which is the more usual composition of bronze. Actual value based on the metals is about $600, $300 and $2.38 respectively. An actual gold medal would be around $21,000 in raw material costs.Greenie said:

A standard gold bar weighs 12.4kg. They are invariably shown upside down in the movies. The wider bit goes at the top to aid lifting. The gold in the coach in The Italian Job would have taken out the floor of the coach, let alone sent it spinning to obvilion over the mountain side.5 -
I wouldn't mind her hopping into my midriff. I usually have to pay for that sort of shit.RedChaser said:

At the Rio games 1.2% of a gold medal is actually gold.
God knows why I know that.0 -
