It's funny. But next time, if you don't want to go through the hassle, just use colour-coded Gear Tags. If there aren't enough colours, than decide on one colour / team, so you will only have to weed through, say 20, instead of 200. Eg. blue for swimmers, red for gymnasts and so on.

wow... I would be so proud to have one of those bags ^^

Fools. For a long time there is an invention as a tag ...

One last day of fun for the athletes before they all depart.

Repeat after me ... "Put your name on your luggage."

This is why I decorate my boring luggage. I always know from a glance which bag is mine, even when somebody else has the same brand and color.

there was a study done with balloons that would work well with this. the study was the speed of teamwork. fill a room with balloons with peoples names on them, send people in one at a time and have them find their name only... only a few people were successful. then restart and have each person just remove 1 balloon and find the person whose name is on it. it took less than 10 mins for over 100 people to get their balloons. this is what needs to happen with this luggage.

Is that orange or red?

The dangers of conformity...........

I was thinking 'did no one personalise their bag?' but if they were all delivered seperately from the athletes, then I guess no one had a chance. Except maybe in Rio, but then in their own groups they may not have realised the problem. Oh well, just have to dig through them all!

hahha so funny

They should have put tags in their bags that said "Mine"... peopla are sooo dumb... ;)

This is one of those things that they will all look back on and have a good laugh.

I would help to find the first guy´s bag.......

Athletes are usually not that bright. Not surprising that this stumped so many of them.
