Last Friday, 18 May, DR1 published a brief about the first swimmer to represent the Dominican Republic in women's swimming in an Olympics. The brief's title could have misled several readers into understanding the story was about the first Dominican woman in the Olympics, which is not the case. The corrected version of the story follows:
Massachusetts teenager is first Dominican woman in Olympics swimming. A 15-year old swimmer from Northborough, Massachusetts, Dorian McMenemy, will be the first female to ever compete in the Olympics Games for the Dominican Republic. While she was born in the United States, her mother is Dominican and she has swum internationally for the Dominican Republic. She won the right to compete in the Games at the 2011 FINA World Championships in Shanghai, China, where she ranked 36th in the 50-meter butterfly and 46th in the 100-meter butterfly. She will compete in the 100-meter butterfly at the London Olympics. Last July, McMenemy swam for the Dominican Republic in Puerto Rico, where she broke several records. She is a freshman at Algonquin High School in Northborough, Massachusetts where she is also a competitive basketball player.
