Kristen Babb-Sprague


Kristen Elizabeth Babb-Sprague is an American former synchronized swimmer and an Olympic champion.
Babb-Sprague was awarded a gold medal in the women's solo event at the 1992 Summer Olympics after a scoring scandal. 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. Fréchette's medal was afterwards upgraded to gold by the International Swimming Federation, while Babb-Sprague was allowed to retain hers.
Babb-Sprague is married to former Major League Baseball player Ed Sprague.
