US at the 2012 summer olympics - There appears to be a discrepancy in the total numbers of competitors who have qualified for the US so far, ie: 439. Reviewing the individual sections for each sport it appears that an absolutd maximum of 395 athletes have qualified so far, and that assumes no athletes with multiple qualifications. Part of the discrepancy may be the inclusion of football in the article twice under the headings of both football and soccer. Could the figures be reviewed, please?

You can actually make these changes yourself by going to the articles Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Olympics and United States at the 2012 Summer Olympics then clicking the 'Edit' tab at the top. If there are any figures you're unsure about, you can ask at the talk pages for each article at Talk:Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Olympics, Talk:United States at the 2012 Summer Olympics by going to those talk pages and clicking 'New section' to ask a question.

Great Britain at the 1908 summer olympics - opening page - number of competitors.

A British Olympic Association website press release entitled "Team GB first nation to enter London 2012 Olympic Games" dated 9th July 2012 states that the current team of 542 is the largest since the 676 competitors who represented GB in 1908.

Given that there is now a known figure for the number of British competitors in 1908 could this article be amended accordingly? I am unable to make the amendment myself.
