Ok, I've given this one a read through and I feel ready to review it. I've taken a similar article to GA before (Jamaica at their first Winter Olympics), but that was a while ago!

General

Straight off I've noticed a formatting problem with the dates in the article. In the citations there are two different formats, and there's a third format used in the Athletics section, i.e. "August 14".

Background

" Ndikert was Chad's flagbearer at the ceremonies, Up to and including the Beijing games, there has yet to have been a medalist from Chad." - should be a full stop after ceremonies.

Athletics

"She did not advance to later rounds." - is there a way to reword that? Otherwise it's a very close repetition of "He did not advance to later rounds." at the end of the previous paragraph.

References

I'm just not sure that you need to include the "year=" section in the citations. You've got access dates already there, so there's an indication of what version of the websites have been used. If you want to make that even more permanent then you can always use archived versions of the websites from something like archive.org. Particularly on the sports-reference cites, there isn't anything on the individual websites to say for certain (although logic would indicate) that the pages were last edited in those years.

Other than those points, I think this is fine to become a good article. Miyagawa (talk) 16:10, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review Miyagawa, I have implemented all your changes. Cheers NickGibson3900 ^Talk 01:17, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
