Youngest gold medalist[edit]

Shouldn't we leave a word in the notes of this article about the French boy, between 7 and 12 year old, who was part of the Dutch coxed pairs team that won the gold in 1900 ? Tintin 15:22, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't Kim Yun-mi the youngest gold medalist in history? Kim was 13 years and 2 months old when she won in 1994, while Marjorie was about 13 years and 9 months? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.162.186.136 (talk) 19:11, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Youngest Olympic gold medallist (again)[edit]

According to the Kim Yun-mi (speed skater) article, the South Korean short track speed skater "won her first Olympic gold medal at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer at the age of 13 years and 85 days, making her the youngest-ever Olympic gold medalist."

The article cites this reference in support of its claim. JezGrove (talk) 15:03, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
