LONDON, Aug. 26 (UPI) -- British Olympians returning from Rio found themselves faced with a challenge as daunting as the Games themselves -- identifying their luggage.

"Baggage collection could be interesting," the official Team Great Britain account posted on Twitter.

"Finding my bag could prove more challenging than the racing," rower Matt Langridge tweeted.
