Olympics To-do:
|

Therefore, these events were held in Stockholm (Sweden) marking the second, and so far last time, that events of the same Olympics were held in different countries.
When was the first time? This says that 1956 was the only time that the Olympics had not been held in a single city/country. ⇒ whkoh [talk] 12:00, May 23, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] image
Is there any type of main image anyone can get for this to make this look similar to the other pages of the Olympic Games?
A program cover, official logo, etc.?
[edit] What the?
This article says that Bejing (China) and Hong Kong will be co-hosting the 2008 games. Is this verifiable? I think it's incorrect but I will not change it until that is confirmed. Smartyshoe 20:30, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- Hong Kong is the "Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China" - not a separate country from Beijing and the Republic of China. One country is hosting the 2008 olympics. Beijing is the host city. Some events will be in Hong Kong. The situation is not similar to Sweden and Australia hosting the 1956 Olympics.--A Y Arktos 21:12, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- Well, it's somewhat murky. Hong Kong has a different National Olympic Committee (NOC) than the PRC (i.e. HKG and CHN respectively). Also, elsewhere in Wikipedia (see List of countries), Hong Kong is defined as an "entity considered to be a country". It is obviously not defined as a sovereign nation, but appears in the list of special entities recognized by international treaty or agreement, which is one kind of "country" as per the first article.

[edit] Television
There should be a section on the introduction of television into Melbourne to coincide with the Olympics. Rogerthat Talk 09:20, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Olympic Underwear Relay
Could this stunt (http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/pranks/olympic.html) possibly be verified? I think it might be worth including in the article.
[edit] Which Pollies?
Does anyone know exactly which Premier and PM are referred to in the 4th paragraph? I'd like to link them to the specific person rather than just the page on those positions. FiggyBee 14:53, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
