Lead

• The events should be listed

• All six of them? That would seem to be too much for the lead?

• "The men both competed in the 15 and 30 km races; Kirsten Carlsen competed in the 5 and 10 km races. She had the best performance of any of them with her 32nd-place finish in the 10 km event."

• Elegant, done. Courcelles (talk) 06:12, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Background

• How many countries/athletes?
  • Added. Courcelles (talk) 05:14, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
• What's Denmark's medal history?

• Added... Courcelles (talk) 05:14, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

• What was the 1998 medal for? The link doesn't mention it.

• Curling. Added. Courcelles (talk) 06:12, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

• Any word on the closing ceremony?

• Nope, as is typical this far back. Courcelles (talk) 05:14, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Cross-country skiing

• "run the same two races" — one doesn't run on skis.

• fixed. Courcelles (talk) 05:14, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

• Silver/bronze for all four events?

• Added. Courcelles (talk) 05:14, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

• Were Svend Carlsen's places (57, 53) really identical to his places in 1964? That's striking if so, and should be added.

• They were, but how to phrase it is something I'm having trouble with. Courcelles (talk) 05:14, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

• "Out of 63 classified finishers Lynge was in 62nd place and Carlsen in 53rd. Carlsen's 57th- and 53rd-place finishes were identical to his ranks in the same races four years before."

• Added. Courcelles (talk) 06:12, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

• "Carlsen was in 54th" — conflicts with the chart.

• Oops. Courcelles (talk) 05:14, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

• In the chart, do you mean to use apostrophes to separate hours from minutes?

• Oh, I didn't much look at the pre-existing chart. That's a bad convention, changed. Courcelles (talk) 05:14, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Another one, Courcelles. --Usernameunique (talk) 02:51, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

• Responses to everything, would like to hear your thoughts on how to mention Svend's same places that doesn't sound stupid, but I'm lost for it. Courcelles (talk) 05:14, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

• Courcelles, three comments above. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:56, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
