Rory Logan was competing in the Special Olympics Regional finals in Bangor, north Wales, in the UK when event organisers made the shock decision, reports Belfastlive. Rory, from County Antrim in Northern Ireland, won the 50m final in a personal best time of 53.15 seconds, but instead of a gold medal he received a ribbon for just participating. <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/11/29/01/3AD6880600000578-3980540-The_scoreboard_clearly_shows_Rory_s_winning_time_at_the_competit-a-4_1480382223788.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> His shocked mother, Briony Logan, said officials told her that her son didn't get a medal because he was too fast for the race. 'Rory came to me and said: "Mum I didn't do anything wrong, I won fair and square, what did I do?". I was absolutely gutted for him,' Ms Logan said.<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3980540/Autistic-boy-9-left-heartbroken-not-given-gold-medal-swam-fast.html?ito=social-facebook" target="_blank">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3980540/Autistic-boy-9-left-heartbroken-not-given-gold-medal-swam-fast.html?ito=social-facebook</a></blockquote>
