Traditionally, it was believed that either one or two Australians had competed in the games, with neither winning medals.[1][2] However, in 2009 it came to light that Frank Gailey, who later immigrated to the United States and became an American citizen, had not yet done so when he competed in the games. Gailey won 3 silver and one bronze medal in swimming.[2]
