Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director's denial was procedurally deficient. The Director failed to properly analyze the evidence regarding the petitioner's Paralympic gold medals as a major award, improperly relied on a non-precedent decision, and did not provide any analysis for the evidence submitted under the alternative criteria. The case was sent back for a new, properly reasoned decision.
