In this pre-Olympic year, we're seeing metallics on every runway and retail window display. But contrary to popular prejudice, the only medal you're dreaming about these days is bronze - for the healthy glowing skin that looks like you spent hours baking in the sun but without the whole slathered-in-Banana-Boat-cancer-prevention dance.
