Another Olympic list just in time for the end of the 2024 Summer Olympics. Will probably reply a bit late for personal reasons but I promise that comments will be responded accordingly. Arconning (talk) 09:32, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Infobox image caption needs a full stop
"While Cameroon, Mongolia, and Uganda won their nations' first Olympic medals." - this isn't a complete sentence
"winning six medals with four gold and two silver medals." => "winning six medals with four gold and two silver." will suffice
"won the most medals at the games, winning seven medals with two golds, four silvers, and one bronze medal." - as above, "won the most medals at the games, winning seven medals with two golds, four silvers, and one bronze." will suffice and avoid repetition
"Two bronze medals were awarded in each boxing event after a competitor lost their semifinal, as opposed to fighting in a third place tie breaker." - this doesn't seem quite right, I suggest "Two bronze medals were awarded in each boxing event to the losing semi-finalists, as opposed to them fighting in a third place tie breaker"

@ChrisTheDude I have done all of this. Let me know if you have any more. :) Arconning (talk) 09:49, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Steelkamp

"Mexico City, Mexico" is redundant, and can be shortened to just "Mexico City".
"These games were the first games to be held in Latin America." Change to "These were the first games to be held in Latin America."
"and 39 of them". Is this referring to 39 nations or 39 athletes?
"Teams from Kenya,[7] Tunisia,[8] and Venezuela won their nations' first Olympic gold medals.[9] While Cameroon,[10] Mongolia,[11][12] and Uganda won their nations' first Olympic medals." I suggest merging into once sentence: "Teams from Kenya,[7] Tunisia,[8] and Venezuela won their nations' first Olympic gold medals,[9] while Cameroon,[10] Mongolia,[11][12] and Uganda won their nations' first Olympic medals."
"...at any edition of the Olympic Games." Can be simplified to "...in the Olympic Games."
"He and the rest of his team were subsequently disqualified..." Simplify to "He and the rest of his team were disqualified..."
