British rower Alex Partridge and hockey player Hannah Macleod said their 2012 Olympic bronze medals, along with Partridge’s "Team GB" blazer, disappeared early Wednesday at an upmarket London nightclub. They were among a group of athletes who went to the club after attending a royal reception at Buckingham Palace to celebrate the British team's success at the 2012 Games.
