Olympedia note about medals
[] "Olympedia has previously listed every athlete who competed and placed among the top three in a medal event with a medal. While this (more or less) reflects current medal awarding practice, this approach is not historically correct. For one, for many years only athletes competing in the final would receive a medal. Unfortunately, it is not always easy to find which rules applied when, and, if the rules were actually practised (there are several occasions known where the rules were not followed). Olympedia is currently in the process of updating these medals to be more historically accurate.

We have currently updated the following events: all swimmers competing only in the heats of relay events between 1920 and 1980 did not receive any medals"

Sports domain
Sports including the Olympics use 3-letter codes, such as SDN (Sudan). Is there a list of such codes? MountVic127 (talk) 23:28, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Under Citizenship - IOC rules for citizenship, at the end of that paragraph.

In October 2023, the IOC suspended the Russian Olympic Committee, and the suspension was upheld in February 2024 by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Without any NOC from Russia to approve a change of citizenship in under three years from Russia to another country, the IOC Executive Board approved changes of nationality in November 2023 and March 2024 for a total of five athletes from Russia to another country, including Georgi Tiblov and Aleksandr Komarov in wrestling (from Russia to Serbia), Mikhail Yakolev in cycling (from Russia to Israel), and Anastasiia Kirpichnikova in swimming (from Russia to France). 2603:7000:2101:AA00:C5E3:E699:A899:6F12 (talk) 18:51, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

AD & BC --> CE & BCE
Considering the international scope of the Olympics and its rich history, it's important to acknowledge the evolution of dating conventions. The shift towards secular references in date notation is a wise move. This change from A.D. (Anno Domini) and B.C. (Before Christ) to C.E. (Common Era) and B.C.E. (Before Common Era) reflects a more inclusive and globally neutral approach. By adopting these secular terms, we can ensure that historical references are accessible and respectful to people of all cultural and religious backgrounds, aligning with the diverse and inclusive spirit of the Olympic Games. kmcolo (talk) 19:48, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
