Hi Doc Lucky,
FYI: Chris actually received 1 Gold in the 100M Freestyle with a time of 1:28:93 and 1 Silver in the 100M Butterfly with a time of 1:56:72.
These times are directly off of the tags on his medals. Chris did not receive a 4th place ribbon.
We are just wondering where the information came from on the blog…..
Thanks, The Meyer’s
