"Summer" Olympics
Seems like this is a perennial topic around here - but can someone please link the original discussion to move all Olympic games prior to 1920 to include the term "summer"? How was consensus reached then? The fact that this discussion rears its head every so often means there was "no consensus" to have the current name to begin with, but it's essentially being treated as an irreversible fait accompli in the wiki bureaucracy; we can't just keep making the default outcome of "no consensus" an extension of the status quo.

First medalist?
The text states: "On April 6, 1896, American James Connolly became the first Olympic medalist in more than 1,500 years, competing in the triple jump." Didn't the ancient winners get laurel wreaths and the like, with medals being a modern invention? Would it be better to say Mr. Connolly was the first Olympic champion in more than 1,500 years?

Medal count
In the "medal count" section there is standing that there are gold silver and bronze medals but that is completely wrong. That should be changed. Gilliebillie🤡 (talk) 17:12, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
