Compressing this template
Would anyone mind if I replace this template with a compressed version. See, for example, the difference between
Template:Places_in_Bedfordshire and
this version. The idea is that on a given athlete's page, the template would show the other members of the relay team with links to a page for a member of the previous and next couple of gold medal teams. For example, from
Ray Armstead's page (or any other member of the 1984 gold medal team) the template might look like:
I don't think maintenance of such a template would not be particularly more difficult than maintenance of the existing template. Comments? --

I've updated the template and all the references (added the year). --

No objection at all. The scroll bar version is much more navigable and should find lots of other applications. -

USA DQ 2000?
I thought this never actually happened, although it was discussed. Where is the citation that tells us that Nigeria are the 2000 olympic gold medalists?

However, the
Johnson page still has him as the winner of 4x400. I assume this is now incorrect. I think he was allowed to keep his medal, which made me think the US was not DQ'ed, but was Johnson allowed to keep the title too? It wpould seem if there is an official DQ then the Johnson article should not have him as the 2000 gold medalist. Does anyone know the argeement that the IOC made with Johnson?

template format
The template was recently converted to the generic navbox template. I don't really care that much, but I prefer either the previous scrollable navigation bar or something like the current version of
Template:Footer Olympic Champions 4x100 m Men. Any other opinions on this? --
