Why wouldn't they announce it ahead of time, or during the ceremony?
Don't be naive.
I have linked a video showing what actually happened, linked a verified signatory of the International Fact Checking Network and member of the European Fact-Checking Standards Network saying that it was given to him and that the submitted headline is misleading, and your response is "don't be naive".
Are you guys fucking for real? What the fuck even counts as credible evidence to you anymore!?
How many leaders of the host country got a medal before him?
Will they hand them out to future hosts as well?
Bingo question of the year.
