Olympic medalist

A large number of online sources incorrectly claim that Artags medal was instead won by Püreviin Dagvasüren. I have no idea where this misinformation originated. One of the few sources that get it right is sportsreference com, see Tömöriin Artag and Püreviin Dagvasüren (as an extra bonus, they even spell the Mongolian names correctly!). --Latebird (talk) 07:17, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the olympic medal database of the IOC http://www.olympic.org/uk/athletes/index_uk.asp the medal is awarded to Püreviin Dagvasüren and not to Artag. So I wonder where your info origins from. Miho (talk) 08:28, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I had a similar discussion on the Mongolian Wikipedia (in English). The topic is confusing, as it seems that several Mongolian athletes were registered incorrectly during those games. I guess that more research is warranted, but personally I trust the Mongolians to know who actually brought home the medal. I'll ask them if they can provide more details. --Latebird (talk) 08:39, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We now have a reference page by the Mongolian Olympic Committee confirming Artag as the medalist. I hope this is sufficient to treat Dagvasüren's entry in the IOC database as an error. I'm still trying to research further into the reasons for this discrepancy, though. --Latebird (talk) 00:39, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
