John Shuster and the U.S. men's curling team had to return the gold medals they won Saturday... because they were accidentally given the medals for women's curling.
Every medal in PyeongChang is inscribed with the name of the event for which it was awarded, and the women's curling gold-medal game has yet to take place, so it's not hard to imagine how a mix-up like this might happen.
The correct medals were eventually located and issued to Team Shuster.
