For what's worth, Yoshida (4th Olympics, gold at all three previous attempts), Uchimura (world champion every year since 2009) and Fukuhara (on the national team since she was 11 years old, flag bearer at the Beijing Olympics) were all household names in Japan long before people read their Wikipedia bios this year.

In the article, you mentioned that Germany won silver in both men's and women's football; they actually won gold in the women's tournament. Dynaboyj (talk) 05:32, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

• Dynaboyj, thank you for catching that! I guess its clear I'm not German! I changed the word "silver" to "medals" to correct the error.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 15:45, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

I wondered why only these languages were sampled, so I quite appreciate your comments about why other languages were excluded. Nyttend (talk) 12:32, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
