Norwegian relay team returns gold medals after European Championship blunder
At the Athletics European Championships in Birmingham, the Norwegian 4x400-meter relay team returned their gold medals due to an engraving error.
The Norwegian mixed relay team for the 4x400 meters has returned their gold medals from the Athletics European Championships in Birmingham. The reason for this is an engraving mistake, as the medals bore the time of the second-place British team.
According to reports, the organizers responded to the delay in medal distribution when the incorrect winning time was discovered. The joy of winning the title was overshadowed, as the Norwegian team was confirmed as the winners, but the medals carried an incorrect time.
