Comments by NED33[edit]

Although I like Don Cohen

United States very much but in 1964 Bill Northam

Australia won a Gold medal in the 5.5 Metre during the Olympic sailing event at the age of 59! I assume Don is the oldest American helmsman ever to win a medal. Moreover also Valentin Mankin

Soviet Union (Jew) won in 1968 a Gold medal. Also here I assume the detail American is left out in the article. Please investigate.NED33 (talk) 11:45, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit-warring over format[edit]

Please see my comments here, as well as in my edit summaries. Furthermore, we don't substitute editor POV as to whether "x" is relevant to "y"'s bio -- instead, we follow the RSs. --Epeefleche (talk) 23:33, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
