Lead

 * "Australia delegation consisted of one competitor." - The Australian
 * "his was the nation's first appearance at an Winter Olympic Games since the Winter Olympics began in 1924." - competition
 * "who competed in three events in the Speed skating as he finished in 29th overall in the 500 meters and 33rd overall in the 1500 meters and the 5000 meters." - skating competitions. He finished in 29th place overall
 * All three events mentioned in the above sentence should be linked to the relevant articles

Background

 * Wikilink Winter Olympics
 * " The 1936 Winter Olympics was held at Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Germany and was held from the 6 to 16 February:" - the text in bold can be either took place or occurred
 * Clarify that the Athens Olympics was held in 1896
 * the second use of the word "the" is not needed per MOS:DATESNO
 * "The Australian Olympic Committee was formed on 1 January 1895 with the nation making their debut at the first Olympics in Athens with Teddy Flack being the first representative of the nation." - repetition of "nation"
 * "Australia delegation consist of a speed skater," - The Australian delegation consisted of a single speed skater,
 * "at the 1936 games." - "games" should begin with a capital letter

Speed skating

 * "22 year old, Ken Kennedy" - the comma before "Ken" is not needed
 * "competed in four speed skating events throughout the 1936 games." - the word "games" is better off beginning with a capital letter
 * "he finished in 33rd with a time of two minutes and 31 seconds," - 33rd place in a time of 2 minutes and 31.8 seconds
 * "he competed in his last event of the games" - same issue as the second point raised in this sub-section
 * "On 13 February, he competed in his last event of the games" - state which event this was for clarity and wikilink that event to the relevant article
 * "he didn't start in the 10000 metres" - no contractions please per MOS:CONTRACTION
 * Wikilink 10000 metres to the relevant article
 * Wikilink Ivar Ballangrud
 * Wikilink Norway to Norway at the 1936 Winter Olympics
 * The tables could be better off having references added to them for extra verification
