Broadcasting in Peru

ATV (Peruvian Network) share the rights to host the games. They will both broadcast them in Peru.

Broadcasting in Spain

The public Spanish network TVE has a High Definition channel TVE-HD which can be tuned in the Digital+ pay package. I can't edit the broadcaster box. Please somebody add this.

Number of Athletes by National Olympic Committees Section

Can I please have some assisantance to complete this section as filling in the number of Athletes for 204 countries is a lot for one person to do. Thanks very much! (MOTORAL1987 (talk) 12:09, 3 January 2013 (UTC))[reply]

Vandalism In The Lead Section

There is some obvious vandalism in the lead section. It claims the 2008 Olympics was held in Spotswood, New Jersey among other inaccuracies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:BD8B:5A60:75CF:F685:9CFA:E25F (talk) 08:00, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted it. Thank you for noting this. Cheers! Reso lute 14:09, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is another obvious mistake in Medal Count section. It claims India was first in rank:

Rank Nation→ Gold Silver Bronze Total 1 India→→ 51 21 28 100 2 United States 36 38 36 110 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.50.66.200 (talk) 17:03, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
