Team GB returned from Rio only to get lost in a sea of red bags
While all teams match their uniforms at various sporting events in the Olympics, Team GB (Great Britain) took this matching a step further when they all decided to go for matching luggage as well. The result? Utter chaos at the London airport when all the athletes landed on the same day at the same time with similar-looking luggage.
The team of over 300 athletes spent about two hours at the airport sifting through almost 900 identical red bags to find out their own. Some athletes even joked about the “baggage claim nightmare” which had us laughing till our tummies ached.

We are sure the athletes felt that finding out their own bag from the sea of red bags was a tougher task then winning a medal at the Olympics.
