"100 metres at the Olympics"? Isn't there some competitions at least in swimming with 100 metres distance in the Olympics? I suggest to change the title to 100 metres run at the Olympics. 85.76.18.149 (talk) 22:52, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jack London (silver medallist in 1928)

The link in the table of all male medallists is wrong (links to the famous American author, not to the British athlete: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_London_(athlete)). I tried fixing it myself, but there's some technical problem preventing me from doing so, which I wasn't able to figure out. Could anybody else try to fix it? 2A0D:6FC2:55D5:3100:B537:C12C:AA32:CE2D (talk) 09:22, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
