It took hours of deliberation by the judges to decide if the penguins should share a gold medal or one receive a gold and the other a silver. In the end they shared the gold, which was good news for the team from Monaco who would then receive the silver. That was until it was discovered that the spikes on their shoes were 1.7 mm in diameter when the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation clearly state the maximum diameter of the spikes may not be greater than 1.5 mm. The team went home humiliated and were ostracized in their home country.
