  • Done MWright96 (talk) 13:38, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
• "territory's National Olympic Committee" put territory's into the pipe because we have an article called National Olympic Committee and this is potentially confusing.

  • Removed that part of the sentence MWright96 (talk) 13:38, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

• "he partook in" -> "took part" or even "competed" perhaps.
  • Done MWright96 (talk) 13:38, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
• "he did not have one of the best eight marks in his first three jumps, Tong took no further part in the event, coming ninth overall" not sure about "marks", after all it's the distance, not some kind of score.
  • Done MWright96 (talk) 13:38, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
• I would include units in the distance column of the table, i.e. 4.63 m.
