Lead

• Looks good!

Background

• "and have competed in every Summer Olympics since then." - Remove "then"
• "Albania has never won a medal at the Olympics" - "The nation has never won a medal at the Olympics"

Alpine skiing

• "On 18 February, Tola took part in the Super-G competition, he finished the single-run rac ein a time of one minute and forty-four seconds, earning him 56th place, which was last among competitors who managed to finish the race" --> "On 18 February, Tola took part in the Super-G competition. He finished the single-run race in a time of 1 minute and 44, placing 56th; the last among competitors who finished the race"
• I'm pretty sure this is a non-issue but why is "Super-G" capitalize but not "giant slalom"?

• NO clue, but skiing does it consistently. Courcelles (talk) 23:41, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

• "posting leg times of one minute and thirty seconds and one minute and thirty-two seconds." - Change to something like "...posting run times of 1 minute and 30 seconds, and 1 minute and 32 seconds, respectively."
• "His combined total was good for 35th place out of 41 competitors who finished both runs" --> "His combined total places him in 35th place out of 41 competitors who finished both runs"
• "On 25 February, he participated in the slalom, but was unable to finish the race" - Any chance there is a source somewhere that maybe mentions he fell or something (other than "unable to finish")? If nothing can be found, no worries.

• I looked, I can find lots of sources that record the DNF, but nothing that expounds on it. It's most likely a fall, because a missed gate results in a disqualification, not a DNF, but that'd be pure OR to put in. Courcelles (talk) 23:41, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

• I think I've addressed everything, no in-line responses this time, {{u}Dom497}}, but thanks for another review. Courcelles (talk) 23:41, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

References

• This is just a preference of mine since it makes it easier to read the text (you can decide whether or not to make the changes): Where citations are included in the middle of the sentence just move it to end of the sentence.

• Ususally I agree, but given I needed different pages to cite the different run times, I wanted to be as explicit as possible. Courcelles (talk) 23:44, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Good work! On hold but my comments should be pretty easy to address.--Dom497 (talk) 23:28, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

@Courcelles: If you agree with the two edits I made in the article then we are all done here!--Dom497 (talk) 00:56, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

They look good to me. Courcelles (talk) 08:22, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Pass!--Dom497 (talk) 11:56, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
