Lead

 * Think it would help to add the country Kaneko and May represented for consistency in the lead
 * Added. Harrias  talk 08:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Background

 * "though there was significant opposition" - from whom?
 * A bit of everyone; I'm not sure how much detail to go into here, given that the opposition was to its inclusion in the Olympics, rather than the World Championships. Essentially, the organisers of the Olympics, the "Soviet bloc", and you know, men. Harrias  talk 08:26, 7 July 2020 (UTC)


 * "announced that it would be added to the program" - should the word in bold be programme instead?
 * Oops. Harrias  talk 08:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)


 * "Press in the United States rated Julie Brown" - How about amending the text in bold to The American press?
 * Changed as suggested. Harrias  talk 08:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)


 * "Amby Burfoot said that despite the fact Waitz had beaten Brown in their previous meetings" - how many previous meetings?
 * The source just says "several". Harrias  talk 08:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Wikilink Amby Burfoot
 * Linked. Harrias  talk 08:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Summary

 * Ireland should be wikilinked to the Republic of Ireland article, not to the article discussing the whole Island of Ireland
 * It shouldn't be linked at all. Removed. Harrias  talk 08:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)


 * "Two miles later," - what about changing his text to say 2 miles for consistency?
 * Yes, definitely. Harrias  talk 08:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)


 * "as there weren't men" - were not; no contractions please per MOS:CONTRACTION
 * Eugh, it's been a while since I've made that mistake. Fixed. Harrias  talk 08:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
