Waterpolo

[edit]

I am surprised that the water polo medals are counted in the medal table. The fact that the sport is stated in the Olympic reports is irrelevant to me, since the IOC itself does not recognize this event in their own medal database and medal ranking. Miho NL (talk) 13:09, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The IOC medal database has plenty of errors around the early Games, even those that were far better organized and documented than the 1904 Games (such as 1908 London). Several other sources claim that 1904 water polo was as "Olympic" as any other 1904 event. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 18:12, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
IOC medal table shows that water polo was excluded. This should be mentioned in article at least --VovanA (talk) 18:39, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
it also includes two bronze medal winners in men's boxing welterweight. Jack Eagen was disqualified, so USA should give up one bronze --VovanA (talk) 18:42, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Australia in the medal table

An update on 4 missing Australian medals from the Australian Olympic Committee Website:

"Australia’s lost Olympian won four medals 27 February 2009

Australia has a newly discovered Olympic hero, and the nation’s tally of Olympic medals has suddenly, and quite unexpectedly, been boosted by four --- three silver and one bronze.

For well over a century Francis (Frank) Gailey, a swimmer from Brisbane, has mistakenly been listed in official records as an American.

He sailed to the United States in February 1904, competed in the Olympic Games in St Louis the following August, and later returned to Australia.

At those Games Gailey contested four events, finishing second in the 220 yards, 440 yards and 880 yards finals, and third in the one mile freestyle.

These were the only Olympics in which distances were measured in yards, and the only ones at which the men’s 880 yards (or 800 metres) freestyle was contested.

That performance gives him the greatest haul of individual medals at a single Olympics of any male Australian." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.128.2.22 (talk) 03:46, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

IOC modified data at Olympics.com after accepting the recommendation of Olympic historian Bill Mallon and transfer of information from Olympedia.org (the Olympic historians association website) to Olympics.com (the IOC website).

Thus, a change in the overall results of countries:

  • Cuba: loss of 1 gold, 2 silver, 3 bronze
  • Norway: gain of 2 gold
  • Austria: gain of 1 gold, 1 silver
  • Mixed team: gain of 1 gold, 1 bronze
  • Australia: gain of 3 silver, 1 bronze
  • Germany: gain of 1 silver, 1 bronze
  • France: gain of 1 silver
  • Switzerland: gain of 1 bronze
