I updated the cites to ConEd's pages, which had linkrotted. The new ones surely will as well, the next time they reorganize their website, but that's the problem with primary sources.
The cite for Childress' two bronze-medal wins for tai chi, I also rescued via a Wayback Machine archived copy. But having a rescued link doesn't change the fact that the cite is to a jpeg image in a PhotoBucket account for "Justice for Hire", presumably belonging to Creative Impulse, and showing what looks like either a comic book page or a website screenshot. (And it doesn't even confirm the 2004 medal win or Childress' two-time status, only — arguably — the 2010 win.) To say that a better source is needed feels like a massive understatement.
