When are the Olympic Swimming Finals?

The USA Olympic swimming team won the 4 x 100 m relay - do the racers from the semi-finals get medals?

  • Answer:

    Yes! They absolutely do get gold medals. 7 swimmers received gold medals since Cullen Jones swam in the prelims and the final. This article mentions how Matt Grevers won gold as part of the relay even though he was only in the prelims... http://nusports.cstv.com/sports/m-swim/spec-rel/081108aab.html "Cullen Jones, who had fastest split of the four American swimmers in the preliminary heat, was the lone member of that squad to race in the finals. Grevers and the other two members of the preliminary group also receive gold medals in the event, however. "

Regrettably, no. Gold, silver and bronze medals are only given in the finals, not the semi-finals.

Yes. The 4 swimmers who won the final, along with the other 3 who swam the pre-lims with Jones all received a gold medal. You can check it out at nbcolympics.com

the only people who get the medals are the people that are in the finals...but im sure that they get some kind of money for their efforts....since most countries are paying thier athletes for going to the olympics
