We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Swimming at the 1896 Summer Olympics — The winners at the 1896 Olympics were given a silver medal and an olive branch, not a laurel branch; second place received a bronze medal and a laurel branch is incorrect—actually, first-place prize was a silver medal and an olive branch, not a laurel branch.
