message: From the article:
The sheer bombastic arrogance of David Francis, the President of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, was engraved in history for all the world to see when he declined to invite anybody else to open the Games and, on July 1st, did so himself in a scaled-down short and humdrum 'ceremony'
I don't mean to dispute that this is true but the language is hardly NPOV and without a source it needs to be toned down. EconomicsGuy (talk) 09:09, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The reference cited [3] does not support the claim that Chicago was originally awarded the 1904 Olympiad.  It just says there was a meeting in Chicago.  Is there another reference that could be used?  Otherwise, this may just be after-the-fact lore from the bigger city of Chicago widely disseminated as truth.

message: I notice nowhere in this article is the Marathon mentioned. It is a very peculiar part of Olympic History.
At least three participants nearly died; a runner who had dropped out nearly accepted the gold medal fraudulently; organizers withheld water and forbid support crews from giving runners water in order to test a pseudoscientific hypothesis on hydration
I would argue it deserves its own section if not its own article. 70.67.45.201 (talk) 23:48, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
