Background

Any info about the flag bearer for the closing ceremony?

Sadly, no, I expect such information has been lost to time, and may be a problem for all Nagano articles going forward. Courcelles (talk) 14:19, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speed skating

Add links in the prose to the individal events that Veldkamp competed in
"and would go on to represent Belgium at the 2002 Winter Olympics and 2006 Winter Olympics." - reword toand the 2006 Winter Olympics.
"He went out early and set a new world record" - link world record to List of world records in speed skating
"only to two more world records set that day," - change to only for two more world records to be set that day,
"he took part in the 1,500 metres," - how about participated for some variety?
"and finished with a time of 13 minutes and 29 seconds," - finished fourth

Reference

Reference 8 is missing Sports Reference as its publisher

That is my lot. This article will be put on hold for the time being. MWright96 (talk) 10:34, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Everything either fixed or responded to. Thanks for the review, MWright96. Courcelles (talk) 14:21, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Courcelles: Great. Can now promote this article to GA class. I'll overlook the flag bearer for the closing ceremony point since that info cannot be found. MWright96 (talk) 18:38, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
