Lead[edit]

If you want to provide facts not opinions, than why this edit returns to the lead mere Zhurova opinion? I also agree with you, that if we want a neutral lead, IOC's assessment of the doping programme should be moved. However, I disagree with you that the evaluation can not be included, it is there to balance all those concerns, which in the lead are included. These are evaluation of journalists, which are very related to the article and to this whole paragraph. Also, if we are going to include independent McLaren Report commissioned by the WADA, we should also mention conclusion of the whole accusation (13 Olympic medals stripped).Jirka.h23 (talk) 10:17, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why should info on stripped medals not be in the lead? It is a major impact of these issues; they don't just remove medals because they can. There's a reason, it's punishment. ViperSnake151  Talk  23:22, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think that all these doping cases is a complete mess now. IOC intends to appeal the CAS decision, and it's just not clear what's going to happen. We shall wait until they finally decide who won these medals. Speaking of the pre-games concerns and controversies, I think they're not a major part of the games. We can keep them but I really don't think that we need to draw a conclusion in the end based on what Thomas Bach (IOC President) and the CSM had said right after the games. Or we need to specify that the games were seen successful from an organizational standpoint only. But again, better not to mention these controversies and not to draw a conclusion. We unanimously decided to remove the IOC's evaluation of the doping program (worst attack on an integrity of the Olympics in history), then why Thomas Bach's comments dating back to 2014 should be in the lead? By the way, I don't see any evaluations in the 2016 Rio Olympics article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djdisiwk78 (talk • contribs)
Can we please stop with the whitewashing here? Wikipedia articles must be written from a neutral point of view, and the lead must summarize all key points of the article. Doping, the LGBT issues, and maybe the cost overruns, were a prominent storyline of these games. ViperSnake151  Talk  18:35, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Russia stripped for 1 gold medal in Biathlon[edit]

The number of gold medals to Russia should be reduced to 10, Germany should have one more gold and one less silver, Austria one more silver and one less bronze, Norway one more bronze. https://www.biathlonworld.com/news/detail/ibu-anti-doping-hearing-panel-renders-verdicts-on-sleptsova-and-ustyugov — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.164.29.245 (talk) 11:35, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is the first mainland Asian city hosting a Winter Olympic.[edit]

It was also the first Winter Olympics to be held in mainland Asia.[1] See Asia#Asia–Europe boundary for the most commonly accepted definition of Asia: Sochi is on the Asian stripe of the Krasnodar Krai. --146.96.147.45 (talk) 01:50, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. HiLo48 (talk) 02:23, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
