ECS Triathlon

I added a note saying that gold, silver and bronze medal for men's competition are licenced at ECS Triathlon and put a reference Le Monde 18/10/2012 Sartrouville usine à champions , which is first French newspaper and is quite rare to notice that article was 2 months after the event, My addition was reverted twice without any reason. So I think this should be kept as there is proper reference Lpele (talk) 19:41, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

I can't speak to why it was reverted but I'm tempted to remove it as well. This detail feels irrelevant and a bit promotional in relation to the article topic. Barkeep^Chat 20:24, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

do you have any example of any sport where the 3 olympics medals were won by athletes of the same club ?Lpele (talk) 20:28, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

I'm not sure if your question is rhetorical or not, but if there is such research/references available to support such a claim It would be interesting to see. However, by going in that direction there is an implication of a correlation between the winning an Olympic medal and being on this particular sponsored French club when in fact this was not the case.

Why do you think most international athletes joined this club ? it is not for money, its budget is 3 times less than the one of Poissy town (which is 10 km away). But because they think they can improve and have more chances to win medal : 18 members of this club were qualified to Triathlon at the 2016 Summer Olympics (but 2 were injured). See for example what Gwen Jorgessen said before Rio 2016 where she won gold medal : which means "young french women helps me to overperform", Le Monde article cited early explained that french "Grand Prix" contest is good to enhance athlete performance.Lpele (talk) 21:53, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

I don't think its necessary. Its a good bit of information for the club article, but its highly promotional on this page. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:26, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
