Josh shadik[edit]

I'm calling hoax on this one. A Google search for "Josh Shadik" returns one hit, for a musician. Likewise, although the article doesn't specify the event and trawl through world records for various 100m swimming events in the 40s, 50s and 60s doesn't yield any Josh Shadiks or any variations on the name.

Again... and we believe you didn't just make this all up because? JuJube (talk) 02:26, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gee, I wonder why every source on the Web says that a fellow named Scholes won that event. Deor (talk) 02:29, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Josh Shadik didn't actually win the 100m freestyle, he had the highest record though, he got disqualified from the event and did not earn a medal which went to Clark Scholes instead because Josh Shadik did not show up for the ceremony for some odd reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thecoolestguy1111 (talk • contribs) 02:39, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
