My info is that:
The Olympic Flame is lit in Squaw Valley at February 18 by the 1952 Olympic champion in 500 meter speed skating, Ken Henry. The games are opened by Vice President Richard Nixon. The fire from Morgedal is still burning in Squaw Valley. -- Egil
A 50 star US flag is shown in the medal table. This is incorrect - the US flew a 49-star flag from July 4 1959 until July 3 1960. [[User:Grutness| Grutness talk ]] 02:10, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Talk amongst the Tahoe locals [1] is that the Nordic events were held at Sugar Pine Point State Park and surrounding environs. Bandy 17:31, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

This is ridiculous.
WP:LEADCITE makes it clear that inline citations are only necessary in the lead if it is a BLP.

It was mentioned that the Greek standardbearer (as always) led the procession of athletes into the Opening Ceremonies. However, Greece is not shown as having participated in these Games officially. Did Greece just send a non-athlete flag bearer, was the Greek flagbearer not even Greek from from the Olympic Committee? Was the story about the Greek flag leading in the athletes even true? Enquiring minds think this article should elucidate on that. -- Canuckguy ( talk) 19:36, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

This is sourced to a single statement on IOC's web page about Squaw Valley. It seems dubious and poorly sourced. I couldn't find any good sourcing for this statement; in fact, most of the internet that mentions Squaw Valley and instant replay together seems to have gotten that opinion directly from this article, sometimes word-for-word. The instant replay page itself, which is well-sourced, does not even mention Squaw Valley. It seems like a TV urban legend that has made its way into this article and I believe it should be removed.
