DOUBLE MEDALING
The Alabama Senior Olympics (ASO) is an open state and welcomes out-of-state participants. Out-of-state athletes are eligible to medal and do not take away medals from an Alabama resident.
If an out-of-state participant places in the top three of their division, they will receive the medal earned. The ASO will then award medals to the top three Alabama athletes.
