List of Olympic medalists in triathlon

 * Nominator(s): Parutakupiu (talk) 16:12, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

I was supposed to nominate this some time ago, but I feared that its length—which is nothing more than a direct consequence of the sport's recent and young Olympic history—would be an argument against it during the reviewing process. At that time, this list had more content which I ended up removing (making it even shorter) because it wasn't that vital or topic-related. Anyway, apart from this, I believe it fills all the other criteria... but that's up to you to judge. So, I appreciate any input. Parutakupiu (talk) 16:12, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Comments.
 * An Olympic Congress doesn't have the power to add sports to the Programme; this is done by an IOC session, not the Congress. (Though they are held in the same city/timeframe, they are separate things.) Your source doesn't say if it happened in Lillehammer or Paris, as two IOC sessions were held in 1994.
 * You're right, it doesn't say anything besides the year it was accepted. Don't know why, I think I just assumed... Parutakupiu (talk) 23:26, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Why the unusual table of contents?
 * If you check other similar FLs, it's quite usual. It was used mostly for those sports with many events which would yield a "mile long" table of contents. Parutakupiu (talk) 23:26, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Really, this list comes down to size. I remember seeing it a couple weeks ago and thinking it was an excellent FLC after London, but we do have 18 medallists, so, I could be persuaded either way on 3b.

 * Indeed, you are totally right. I still had some doubts, but your comment just goes towards what I described above. This list is still not long enough to fully comply with criterium 3b, so I decided not to proceed with this nomination. Thanks anyway. Parutakupiu (talk) 23:26, 20 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Withdraw nomination, due to lack of compliance with criterium 3b. Parutakupiu (talk) 23:26, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
