"...officially known as the III Olympic Winter Games, was an international multi-sport event..." ==> 'were' instead of was?
"These games were the first time that the Winter Games were held outside of Europe, with the prior Winter Games being held in Chamonix, France, and St. Moritz, Switzerland" ==> "These Winter Games were the first held outside of Europe, with prior editions held in Chamonix, France, and St. Moritz, Switzerland"
"Hungary's team won their first Winter Olympic medal of any color," ==> is 'of any color' not implied by the part of the sentence immediately following this one?
"...tied for the most gold medals won for an individual at the games, with two gold medals" ==> the second 'gold medals' is redundant
"Bobsledder Eddie Eagan of the United States became the first and only person to win a gold medal at the Summer Olympics and Winter Olympics..." ==> That's not true: Gillis Grafström had already done this (figure skating in 1920 Summer Olympics and then 1924 Winter Olympics), but Eagan was the first to win gold medals in different disciplines. I'd tweak the sentence above and then add a footnote to mention Grafström (for example, "Bobsledder Eddie Eagan of the United States became the first and only person to win a gold medal in different events at the Summer and Winter Olympics,..." with a footnote like "Gillis Grafström also won gold in both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games but in the same event: figure skating, which had been contested in the 1920 Summer Olympic Games."
"...after winning the gold medal in the four-man event at these games and winning the gold medal in the men's light heavyweight event in boxing at the previously held 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium" ==> "...after winning the gold medal in the four-man event at these games and in the men's light heavyweight event in boxing at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium"

Infobox

"Jack Shea of the United States tied for most gold medals won at the 1932 Winter Olympics, winning two gold medals in men's speed skating." ==> second 'gold medals' also redundant here i feel

"Instructions to use De Baillet-Latour's version of the practice were sent out by the IOC to the organizing committees of the 1932 Summer Olympics and 1932 Winter Olympics, with Shea becoming the first Olympic champion to be awarded a medal on top of a podium after winning the gold medal at the men's 500 metres event in speed skating." ==> This sentence is very long and could be split in two: "Instructions to use De Baillet-Latour's version of the practice were sent out by the IOC to the organizing committees of the 1932 Summer Olympics and 1932 Winter Olympics. Shea became the first Olympic champion to be awarded a medal on top of a podium after winning the gold medal at the men's 500 metres event in speed skating"

Comments

"8 NOCs[a] less than the last Winter Games in St. Moritz, Switzerland" => "8 NOCs[a] fewer than the last Winter Games in St. Moritz, Switzerland"
"cross-country skier Veli Saarinen of Finland, and speed skaters" - no need for that comma
"did not send athletes at these games" => "did not send athletes to these games"

Feedback:

Shea became the first athlete to win multiple gold medals at the same Olympic Winter Games. – Clas Thunberg won multiple golds at both the 1924 and 1928 games, while Johan Grøttumsbråten won two golds at the 1928 games.
Refs 6 – Needs to be marked as live, defaulting to the archive link instead
Ref 8 – It appears you have a newspapers.com account, could you snip this instead?
Ref 8 – Says "Wallace H. Ward" as the author, so please include the "H." for the author
Consider linking "sports" to Winter Olympic sports in the lead paragraph

It's interesting there were no ties, no first time countries competing, and no first time gold medal winners. This is what I have for now, please ping me when you reply. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:12, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
