Emerging story

A video shared thousands of times depicts three athletes being awarded medals, with the one in third place mistakenly receiving a gold medal. After realizing the mistake, she then respectfully places it on the neck of the first-place winner. The video background appears to be a skating arena, and athlete attire indicates the sport is figure ice skating.  The video has the text “Olympics Mistake Moment,” and the accompanying claim is that this incident occurred at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, currently taking place.
