We think only a record holder can know what you go through to set a record, so we only let people that
have already set world records downvote other people's records.
What can I do?
Go set a record! If you can think of it, you can set a new world record for it.
Firstly, I would like to thank my supporters in these here comments. I will, as attempted record holder in a swimming trivia related category, concede my mistake upon review of the film, and promise to claim this record in under 30 seconds at the next URDB event. Remember to eat your vitamins, swimmaniacs!
Dan, I respectfully request that you reconsider your call on this one. Why is Chris being denied certification of this outstanding performance based on a trivial error when you and the URDB "powers that be" can't even correctly spell the name of the record? Read it slowly and eat your crow. Brian
I, on the other hand, consider his slight misspeaking not a sizable enough error to warrant denial. It seems clear to me that he knew the correct answer and simply jumbled the words.
Though this was a very impressive performance, I vehemently believe it isn't a record. In naming the Athens records, Farber said Phelps got "first place, 4x100 Individual Medley." Sadly, that's incorrect. If you go on Wikipedia, you'll see it's actually the 4x100 Medley Relay. Deny!

Brian. Nicely noted. I have egg all over my face. Time to go fire the copy editor. That said, I'd still vote to deny the record.

My vocal frye had no preparation. Just a deep breath and a dream. Just saying
let the record show that he performed this feat on the spot with no prior preparation.

rolldog - I agree with you. Grand effort, really. A+. But no URDB record. no sir.
