My edits
Edit 1:

Before my edit:

The Finnish team featured four past Olympic medalists returning to the Games: Beijing 2008 women's trap champion Satu Mäkelä-Nummela, the oldest competitor of the roster (aged 43), javelin throwers Tero Pitkämäki and Antti Ruuskanen (both won bronze in 2008 and 2012, respectively), and windsurfer Tuuli Petäjä-Sirén (silver, 2012), who was appointed by the committee as the nation's flag bearer in the opening ceremony, the second by a female in Summer Olympic history.

After my edit:

Reasoning: "the second by a female in Summer Olympic history." reads really oddly to a native English speaker.

Edit 2:

Before my edit:

Despite swimming only in the medley relay, Hanna-Maria Seppälä set a historic record as the first ever Finnish female athlete to participate in five Olympic Games.

After my edit:

Despite swimming only in the medley relay, Hanna-Maria Seppälä set a record as the first ever Finnish female athlete to participate in five Olympic Games.

Reasoning:

Trying to remove redundancy. A record is automatically historic.

 * Well, the first edit would be much better if you simply rephrase the sentence instead. Flag bearer and carried Finland's flag might be overly wordy IMO. You can also further discuss them on WT:OLY. Raymarcbadz (talk) 18:24, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
