Background

• Looking for general info about the 2006 Winter Olympics
  • Added. Courcelles (talk) 14:40, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
• Has the Virgin Islands ever won a medal?

• Only once, in a Summer Olympiad, still, added. Courcelles (talk) 14:40, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

• "and the closing ceremony" — you can add some color here about her holding her red helmet in one hand.
  • Added. Courcelles (talk) 14:47, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Luge

• "ruled in February 2006" — February 2006 is the same month as the games, and from the sources this happened on the 17th, i.e., during the games. I would add the day that she broke her wrist, and the day of the ruling.

• Done. Courcelles (talk) 14:40, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

• "Abernathy was the oldest female athlete at these Olympics." — This belongs at the start of the paragraph. Also, per this source, she was the first person over the age of 50 to ever qualify for a winter Olympics.
  • But I sort of suspect that's wrong, she wasn't even the oldest person at these Olympics. Courcelles (talk) 14:25, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
• There's some more information in the sources about Abernathy that I think you can add here—her describing age as an inspiration to others, her receiving a signed luge number from the other competitors, etc.
• Who won gold/silver/bronze?

• Added. Courcelles (talk) 14:40, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Photograph

• Free photograph in Anne Abernathy that can be used. There's not much space, but adding a "See also" section would stretch it out a little bit by adding a table of contents, and allow the photo to fit more comfortably.
  • Done. Courcelles (talk) 14:40, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Another one, Courcelles. Interesting story. A quick Google turned up some more relevant information on Abernathy (see above; more here), and I think you could easily find some more and add it. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:45, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

• Think I'm at the point of just adding sources to add sources, and have said everything there is relevant to say about this Olympics. Courcelles (talk) 17:26, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

• Courcelles, added a bit more information and now passing. --Usernameunique (talk) 19:19, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
