Press Release
Lausanne - To avoid any reasonable doubt regarding the result of the Women's Relay 4x200m Freestyle Final of the 10th FINA Word Swimming Championships in Fukuoka but without unfairly changing the official results of the race, the Bureau decided to grant a second set of gold medals to the USA Team. It was also decided that films used in video back-up systems, which have recorded results and take off in relays races, shall be stored for possible review at least six months after the end of the event before being erased.
