One too many links to Lawrence Thoms' article.
- Removed all but the first one and the ones in tables.
The "clipping a gate" part should be mentioned in the alpine skiing section.
- Removed the "clipping a gate" part-- it's from the Laurence Thoms article itself, but the source is dead and isn't on Wayback. I removed it.
"fully funded the project to get a skier to Salt Lake City.[7][6]" Put refs in order.
- Put refs in order!
- "for being a competitor from a Tropical nation at the Winter Olympics.[6][7][5]" Here too.
  - Here too!
When did the two events start?
- Don't have a time but did add dates and locations for both along with new refs with them.
Date needed for Ref 1.
- Isn't one on the sheet and can't find one on the IOC. I can guess that it was published right before the games started and it's hosted on their website so I know it's real, but they've updated their site since back then and I can't see when it was posted.

Just a few things. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 17:56, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
