Upon returning home from Rio, the British Olympic athletes were unaware that there would be one more daunting challenge awaiting them when they landed at the Heathrow airport…trying to find their luggage.

All of the athletes for Team GB were given the same bags, so trying to figure out whose bag was whose was like an Olympic event in itself. British gymnast Becky Downie posted a video on Twitter showing the sea of red bags while writing, “Having lots of fun…spot your bag.”

Other British athletes posted on social media about the fiasco including rower Alex Gregory who tweeted a photo with the caption, “Anyone seen my red bag?”

Windsurfer and silver medal winner Nick Dempsey posted a selfie on Twitter along with the caption: “Mine’s the red one!!”

While Great Britain may have won a record 67 medals at the Rio Olympics, it looks like whoever made the decision to get all the athletes the same red bags probably won’t be receiving any trophy for this epic blunder.

How long do you think it took the British Olympic athletes to get their own bags at the Heathrow Airport?
