The story
Jenny Armstrong and Belinda Stowell won the women’s 470 sailing gold medal at Sydney 2000. The Australian Olympic Committee records their victory on the same day that Tom King and Mark Turnbull won the men’s event.
How it unfolded
The two results should remain separate because they belong to different competitions and crews. Armstrong and Stowell’s achievement is the women’s 470 championship, not a combined national medal across the whole sailing programme.
The wider picture
The official athlete and dated Games accounts provide complementary references for the crew and the calendar. Together they place the result on 28 September while retaining both athletes’ contributions.
