Not a medal winner at the 2010 Paralympics

[edit]

Please note Template:Did you know nominations/Eric Bickerton and these edit and reversal. While obviously Bickerton was the guide when Gallagher earned her medal (and while there is no doubt that Bickerton is notable), there are no official sources listing him as a medal winner (she won the medal, with him as the guide, is the most common way of putting it), and very few reliable unofficial sources claiming that he won a medal. He is basically only mentioned in one out of ten articles about Gallagher's medal, and then often as her guide, not as a pair that each won a medal (as is the case in pair sports like synchronised diving or ice skating).

So we are agreed that he received a bronze medal, for which we have sources, and the concern is about his being officially listed as a medal winner? Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:48, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It seems that only the athlete with the disability is recorded. The same happens with relays in swimming – those who swim in the heats as well as those who swim in the final are awarded a medal, but only those who swim in the final are listed as medallists.

Not correct. here you can e.g. see that there are 6 swimmers listed as gold medal winners for the 4*100 medley, plus 5 silver and 5 bronze medal winners. Fram (talk) 08:00, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
