Romania's Bronze Medal n. 9

Somebody rightly noticed that Oana Pantelimon's bronze medal in high jumping is not accounted for on the IOC website despite having the same mistakes than her opponent, the Swedish Kajsa Bergqvist. That's right, the IOC does not count her in because Bergqvist attempted twice to pass 2.03 m, while Pantelimon stopped at 2:01. If you account that bronze, the medal table should go 11 Golds, 6 Silvers and 9 Bronzes (not Eight).

Romania, indeed, always according to Olympic.org, hase won Bronzes in: 1) Artistic Gymnastics, floor exercises, Simona Amanar; 2) Athletics, 1500m, Gabriela Szabo; 3) Boxing welterweight, Dorel Simion; 4) Canoe/Kayak Fl C2 500m, Florin Popescu/Mitica Pricop; 5) Canoe/Kayak Fl K4 500m women; 6) Judo, 78kg, Simona Marcela Richter; 7) Shooting, 25m rapid fire pistol, Iulian Racea; 8) Swimming, 400m individual medley, Beatrice Caslaru.

Therefore, if Pantelimon should be considered a bronze, Romania goes to 9 Bronzes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Madarts (talk • contribs) 16:16, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

beyond top three

Russian language version of this article is the only one, I think, which provides order of finish beyond the first three. This proves to be an obviously superior way to represent results in the encyclopedia, in light of Marion Jones pending disqualification and resequencing of finishes in 5 competitions. I think that the English Wikipedia should adopt this method, if only to allow ascertaining medal finishes after future revelations in doping scandals. --Mareklug ^talk 23:39, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The preferred article style here (as discussed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Olympics) is to provide complete event results, not just for the final race (top 8) as ru.wiki shows. This work is partially complete for 2000 (see Athletics at the 2000 Summer Olympics - Men's 100 metres, linked from the main medal summary table on this page, for one example) but has not been started for any of Jones' individual events. The two relay events have results pages created, so that is a start. Andrwsc 00:29, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Marion Jones

Sorry Guys, not sure what went awry with the table- can you please help fix it, i was trying to update in light of jones relinquishing her medals. Zepher25 14:07, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please leave the tables alone until the IOC formally redistributes the medals. For example, it is still uncertain whether or not the entire relay teams will have to forfeit their medals, or just Jones herself. Until we know exactly what the IOC intends to do, and adjustments here are speculation only. Andrwsc 14:56, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The medals table should have footnotes regarding the changes due to post Olympics DQ 70.51.9.226 (talk) 05:26, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

original results

This page should also have the results as of the end of the Olympics, as a contrast to the results post revokations, including the medals table. 70.51.9.226 (talk) 05:26, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the IOC has announced that the US team has to give up their medals. the table is messed though...and harder to edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.193.113.66 (talk) 17:03, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Error on page

On this page, the winning 4x400m relay squad for women is given as Jearl Miles-Clark, Monique Hennagan, LaTasha Colander, and Andrea Anderson. However, on this page, what is presumably supposed to be the same team is listed as, Jearl Miles Clark, Monique Hennagan, Marion Jones, and LaTasha Colander. I think the problem is that the first page lists the squad that competed in the heat, but I'm no expert on this and do not have the resources to confirm the result. It will need to be checked and corrected because one of those pages is in error. Cottonshirt τ 07:21, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
