Waiting for your luggage at baggage claim isn’t fun when you just want to go home after a long flight. And while UK’s Olympic team racked up an impressive tally of medals, athletes must have been just as eager to get back home.
And THEN they found out they all had the same red bag! This baggage claim would surely have taken a while. Check out these hilarious pictures.

So their team spirit wasn’t limited to just matching attires but also similar bags at one of the world’s busiest airports.
According to a SB Nation report, it took around two hours for the athletes to “claim” the right baggage. And then they emerged, bleary-eyed to greet fans who had gathered to welcome them.
