Lead

• What events did he compete in? A sentence such as "He competed in the men's 1,500, 5,000, and 10,000 meter events, finishing 13th, 27th, and 17th respectively" would work.
• Done. Courcelles (talk) 12:25, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Infobox

• Why the two language tags?
  • Because it is easily togglable between the two languages?

Background

• How many countries/competitors?
  • Added. Courcelles (talk) 12:25, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
• How many medals has Denmark won (summer/winter), as of now and as of 1960?
  • Summer medals are won every four years by them like clockwork, a winter medal only once. Added.

Speed skating

• "gold medalist Viktor Kosichkin of the Soviet Union" — Silver/bronze? For something that close, I would also consider adding the bronze time.
• "The joint gold medalists were Roald Aas of Norway and Yevgeny Grishin of the Soviet Union" — Same (especially regarding timing here, where they were only 5.4 seconds apart)
  • Five seconds sounds insignificant, but might as well be an eternity in a race that short, still, added the bronze and his time. Courcelles (talk) 12:25, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
• "gold medalist Knut Johannesen of Norway" — Same
• How many competitors for the 10,000m?
• Perhaps add his best rank from the 1964 games.
  • All added. Courcelles (talk) 12:25, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Courcelles, as there are many photographs of Kurt Stille online, perhaps one can be found with an appropriate license. --Usernameunique (talk) 04:44, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

• I looked, couldn't find one. It is worth noting not even the Danish Wikipedia, the one with the most national connection to him, has not found an image they can use, which makes sense as 1960 is still within copyright in Denmark. Courcelles (talk) 12:25, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
