4x100 Medley Women's Team

edit

According to some sources, Catherine Fox, who was on the gold medal 4x100 free team, was also on this medley team.[1] Is this correct? Flibbert 18:04, 2 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Our primary source for Olympic medalists is the IOC "medal database" (link here), and it currently shows eight medalists for the USA 4x100 medley relay team. Presumably, this lists all women who competed in either the final or the heats, whereas the medal summary table on this Wikipedia page just shows the four who raced in the final. Feel free to update this page to match the IOC source if you wish. Andrwsc 18:17, 2 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
That answers my question perfectly. Thanks for your rapid response and answer. Flibbert 02:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Prelims results are missing those who finaled...

edit

It looks like the results on all the subpages are missing the prelims times of the people who qualified to swim a second time. (The pages are divided into "Qualifiers" and "Non-Qualifiers", instead of Prelims/Finals.) So, in most races this means that 16 times are missing from each page (8 times for the longer races and relays). The times are in the source document that USA Swimming has. -- Hooperswim (talk) 02:45, 5 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
