Talk:Athletics at the 2012 Summer Olympics

Split into four distinct sets of events

"The Olympic sport of athletics is split into four distinct sets of events: track and field, road running, and racewalking." But "track and field" is written as though it is a single set, as at Athletics at the Summer Olympics. The side bar divides them into track, road, field, combined. Is there a official split or just a variety of unofficial groupings? Nurg (talk) 22:20, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Schedule

How can I edit the schedule? The women's pole vault qualification was Saturday morning, not Saturday afternoon. Tad Lincoln (talk) 00:42, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

The women's 100m hurdles final also needs to be edited. It has already happened (on Tuesday night) rather than still being upcoming as the schedule shows. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GunnertheGooner (talk • contribs) 23:19, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

You're right. Also, the 800m final is tomorrow (the 9th), not tonight. Smartyllama (talk) 14:29, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Current medal totals are wrong

I've just checked the medal summary table by copying it into a spreadsheet and verifying the totals. The three-way tie for the Men's high-jump Bronze medal is not actually reflected in the list. The current actual total number of bronze medals is 46, the same as the silver and gold medals. So two of the three bronze medals are missing. Two of Canada, Great Britain or Qatar are short of a bronze medal each. Please help to find the error(s). Roger (talk) 09:01, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

GB is correct I believe (4-1-1) - Basement12 (T.C) 11:08, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

I checked each medal total, and those numbers are 47:47:49, whereas the totals listed are 46:46:48. I'm going to change the total boxes to fix the numbers. 24.1.0.232 (talk) 19:04, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
