Medal record

Babb-Sprague was awarded a gold medal in the women's solo event at the 1992 Summer Olympics after a scoring scandal.[3] In the technical figures routine, a Brazilian judge accidentally entered a score of 8.7 instead of 9.7 for the Canadian swimmer Sylvie Fréchette, allowing Babb-Sprague to win the competition.[4] Fréchette's medal was afterwards upgraded to gold by the International Swimming Federation, but Babb-Sprague was allowed to retain hers.[3]
Babb-Sprague is married to former Major League Baseball player Ed Sprague.
