"Brunei failed to register any athletes in two editions of the Games: 1992 in Barcelona and 2008 in Beijing." What of Brunei and the Olympics before 1988 though? Any reasons for why they didn't enter, beyond just not qualifying?

Well, their first appearance was in 1998. The article says it at the start of the section.

"Brunei, however, has yet to win its first ever Olympic medal." I think this would sound better more concurrent to the article, i.e. Brunei failed to medal here in 2016; still waiting for its first overall.

Looks good?

"...it was only represented by one official." So if the Bruneian didn't compete, what did he do?

Honestly, not sure.

"...but was excluded on the day of the opening ceremony after failing to register any athletes." Up until then Brunei thought it would qualify?

Brunei could have, and would have participated if they wanted to. The Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports issued a press release stating that their decision not to participate was due to an injury to one of their athletes. Should I add that?

"Brunei received universality slots..." Maybe could you provide a brief definition of this term

Universality is another term for wildcard, which is explained in the background section.

"Brunei received an invitation from the Tripartite Commission..." Perhaps a definition of the Commission as well

Looks good?

All in all a tight, well done article. Nice work! QatarStarsLeague (talk) 00:46, 21 July 2017 (UTC)\Reply

- Yes, does look very good! Ready to go...QatarStarsLeague (talk) 02:21, 3 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
