Assess : newly added and existing articles, maybe nominate some good B-class articles for GA; independently assess some as A-class, regardless of GA status.
Cleanup : * Sport governing body (this should-be-major article is in a shameful state) * Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.) * Standardize Category:American college sports infobox templates to use same font size and spacing. * Sport in the United Kingdom - the Popularity section is incorrect and unsourced. Reliable data is required.
* Fix project template and/or "to do list" Current version causes tables of content to be hidden unless/until reader chooses "show."

What it is completely weird! It was held only once, at the 1904 Games. Athletics at the 1904 Summer Olympics - Men's triathlon has more information on it. I've added a bit more to this article. But generally, it was a trio of athletics events contested by gymnasts that appears to have contributed to the gymnastics all-around scores. Information on the 1904 Games is a bit sparse, but that appears to be what happened. -- Jonel (Speak to me) 19:29, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
One would think. However, the IOC does list the medals won in that event as part of the Athletics discipline. See here for instance. To make things worse, there was also an event in Gymnastics that year called the triathlon -- Gymnastics at the 1904 Summer Olympics - Men's triathlon. Things only really started (and I do mean started) to make any sense with the 1906 Games. -- Jonel (Speak to me) 05:44, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting... though [1], [2], [3], doesn't show a "triathlon" for gymnasts, just a "combined 3-event"; there's also a "combined 4-event" [4], which matches the "Combined" event article we have on WP. Gymnastic quadrathlon? 70.51.11.210 (talk) 06:14, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
