Background

Looking for general info about the 2006 Winter Olympics

Has the Virgin Islands ever won a medal?

Only once, in a Summer Olympiad, still, added. Courcelles (talk) 14:40, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"and the closing ceremony" — you can add some color here about her holding her red helmet in one hand.

Luge

"ruled in February 2006" — February 2006 is the same month as the games, and from the sources this happened on the 17th, i.e., during the games. I would add the day that she broke her wrist, and the day of the ruling.

"Abernathy was the oldest female athlete at these Olympics." — This belongs at the start of the paragraph. Also, per this source, she was the first person over the age of 50 to ever qualify for a winter Olympics.
- But I sort of suspect that's wrong, she wasn't even the oldest person at these Olympics. Courcelles (talk) 14:25, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There's some more information in the sources about Abernathy that I think you can add here—her describing age as an inspiration to others, her receiving a signed luge number from the other competitors, etc.
Who won gold/silver/bronze?

Photograph

Free photograph in Anne Abernathy that can be used. There's not much space, but adding a "See also" section would stretch it out a little bit by adding a table of contents, and allow the photo to fit more comfortably.
- Done. Courcelles (talk) 14:40, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Another one, Courcelles. Interesting story. A quick Google turned up some more relevant information on Abernathy (see above; more here), and I think you could easily find some more and add it. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:45, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Think I'm at the point of just adding sources to add sources, and have said everything there is relevant to say about this Olympics. Courcelles (talk) 17:26, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
