Talk:1956 Winter Olympics

Merge proposal
I came across this article, and it seemed so useless and void of information, I decided to propose this merge. I personally think we can just delete it, but I decided to leave the decision up to the community. That's all.

 * Well, the consensus of WikiProject Olympics is to use individual articles for each nation's results. Clearly, this specific article is only a stub at this date, but it would be a step backwards to undo the article structure now in place and then change it again in the future.  See Iceland at the 2006 Winter Olympics for an example of what each of these articles will look like when expanded.  Remember, There is no deadline. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 04:53, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Calendar
Okay, I've added the calendar. -- Jonel (Speak to me) 23:58, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

1956 Nordic combined event
The 1952 Winter Olympics for Nordic combined has the ski jump first, followed by cross-country skiing. The 18 km was reduced to 15 km at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1954 in Falun when they did it to the 18 km event to 15 km. Chris (talk) 14:48, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Number of athletes?
Sources list the number of athletes as 821, but when I add up the number of athletes listed in the tables, I get 924. Is this explained somewhere in a source? – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:27, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
