Long enough (5x expansion). New enough. Reliable inline citations throughout. (Many directly from Olympics.com). (One discrepancy is the starting date of the games. Citation #3 (Olympics.com) gives October 9th while other sources give October 10th, the date of the Opening Ceremony.) Unlikely copyright vios per Earwig (9.1% match). QPQ done. Hook is interesting and cited. Good work. GTG. Hybernator (talk) 20:27, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For what it's worth, this is, for whatever reason, the standard for Olympics it seems. The Olympic articles, such as 1964 Summer Olympics, typically reference the date of the opening ceremonies from what I can tell. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:33, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is it surely not more interesting that she took the world record for most Olympic medals full stop Hey man im josh? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:10, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're absolutely right, it IS more interesting @AirshipJungleman29. Shame on me for for lessening her accomplishment. Here's some alts. Also pinging @Hybernator.

Alt1:... that Larisa Latynina had the most medals at the 1964 Summer Olympics and became the world record holder for most Olympic medals won by an individual? Source: [ The Times]: "When Edoardo Mangiarotti took gold with Italy in the team épée at the Rome Games in 1960, he set a new record for the number of Olympic medals won by an individual." and "His record endured for only four years, when the Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina increased her tally to 18, which remains the greatest number won by any competitor." (Note the source is from July 16, 2012, before Phelps broke the record)

Alt2:... that Larisa Latynina had the most medals at the 1964 Summer Olympics and became the world record holder for most Olympic medals won by an individual with 18 total? Source: See above
