[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 541350, member: 4386"] I imagine it was one of three Australians who won at the 1904 Olympics. Unfortunately Wikipedia and numerous other sources have made a total mess of mixing up competitors and only mentioning two, one of whom actually competed for the USA while still Australian (Frank Gailey). Some sources show us as having won 2 medals at those games, others say none - it is all totally inaccurate. So Corrie Gardner (since the name of the third, the other Australian winner who competed for Australia not America, is not mentioned by mistake in any internet source). The official Olympic records of the games show no Australian medal winners. [/QUOTE]
