Slovenia at the 2014 Winter Olympics[edit]
- ... that Slovenia won 8 medals at the 2014 Winter Olympics, including 2 gold (Tina Maze on downhill podium pictured), which is an all-time record for the country?
- Comment: Significantly expanded the prose, the rest of the article is mostly tables. --Tone 10:34, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
5x expanded by Tone (talk). Self nominated at 10:34, 23 February 2014 (UTC).
Long enough, 5x expansion recent enough. Well cited overall, neutral in tone. For hook, footnote 4 as to medal count verified.
Sources for fn 5 and 6 appear to be in Slovenian, so can you provide a babelfish or google translation of the source material to verify the hook? I can AGF if the machine translation is good enough to verify the "all time record" claim.
- Source 5 (Delo), second-to-last paragraph, google translate: Together with bronze Teja Gregorin and Vesna Fabjan the counter Slovenian jumps on podium now finally stopped in a record number of eight, which will Olympians also almost completely utilized it provided a prize pool of the Olympic Committee of Slovenia for medals in Sochi. They earn is 135,000 euros from 150,000 projected, its will in the coming weeks slid by the state. (Apparently it still does not work that well with Slovenian :P) Source 6 (Žurnal 24): Winter Olympics in Sochi are for Slovenians most successful so far. Bero Medal is the second medal in Sochi continued snowboarder Košir, which is bronze in the parallel giant slalom added a silver in the parallel slalom. Košir is the number of medals won in Sochi joined Peter Prevcu, which also has silver and bronze, and two golden Tina Maze.
- Otherwise, it is pretty straightforward from Slovenia at the Olympics. Regretfully, I could not find a source that directly states that Slovenia won more medals than at previuos Winter Olympics combined, otherwise I'd suggest that for the blurb. --Tone 20:46, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, I found it (added to the article). A Sochi 2014 will be mostly stayed specifically written in the Slovenian memory. Has never previously is our trump cards are not collected as many top-ranking ammount of eight medals is richer than at any previous Winter Games in more than two decades of independence together! Three medals from Lillehammer '94, one from '02 Salt Lake City and three from Vancouver '10 is the current heroes of Slovenian sport PRISTAVA eight visits to the podium for the top three for the first time ever Winter Games gold medal. I may suggest the altblurb now: ... that Slovenia won 8 medals at the 2014 Winter Olympics, which is more than at all previous Winter Olympics combined? --Tone 21:14, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
