Some athletes who represented their countries during the Rio Olympics left Brazil after they finished their events, and other stayed until the closing ceremony. A number of athletes stayed in the country for days after the games ended.
Among those was Team Great Britain, which flew home on Tuesday.
The team members, each of which went to Rio with a red suitcase, dealt with a debacle when they arrived at the airport's baggage claim.
Eventually, everyone got their bag, according to Sports Illustrated, but it's unknown how long it took the British athletes to collect their bags individually when arriving in Rio or back in Great Britain.
