*The exception is if you misplace yours, or it gets stolen. They'll hook you up with a replacement, but it doesn't count as a second recognition. Caurcher Birkar [sic] got his medal last time around in Brazil. He was in fucking Brazil, of all places, and he figures "I can just put this down on the table for a minute or whatever and it'll be fine." Nope, gone. Egghead was so busy thinking about the next theorem to prove that he scarcely noticed João the waiter sneaking off with it. When he was re-presented with a quickly manufactured replacement, Birkar thus became the only person to "win the fields medal twice".
