During the 1920 Olympics, the international Olympics Committee unveiled the first ever modern Olympics flag to the world, but to the surprise of everyone it went missing just before the end of the event at Antwerp Belgium. Even after 77 years of investigation the IOC could not find it and thought that they had lost it forever. But on 1997 Hal Haig Prieste revealed during an interview that he had stole the flag because of his fellow diver's challenge and he had it in his suitcase for the past 77 years. He than submitted the flag to the IOC in the year 2000 and he was also awarded by the IOC for preserving the flag.
