Well apparently there is a rule stating you cannot swim 15% faster than the time you swam in your heats. The reason is to prevent people from purposely swimming slower to be placed in a lower division only to wipe away the inferior competition in the final.
Sounds like this kid tanked in the earlier races to get matched up against people he was actually much faster than so that he could win first place.

The kid is autistic and 9 years old.....do you honestly think he could comprehend the situation where he would actively think this way?
