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)[reply]

Background

How many countries/athletes?

What's Denmark's medal history?

Added... Courcelles (talk) 05:14, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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

Curling. Added. Courcelles (talk) 06:12, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Any word on the closing ceremony?

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

Cross-country skiing

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

fixed. Courcelles (talk) 05:14, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Silver/bronze for all four events?

Added. Courcelles (talk) 05:14, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

"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)[reply]

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

Oops. Courcelles (talk) 05:14, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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