Arconning As with the '36 Liechtenstein review, sorry to have taken so long with this. I have had very little free time the last week or so, though that doesn't excuse this taking so long. I will have comments up tonight, thanks again for your patience!

I'm not sure that it's accurate to say that "most of the athletes...were invited through universality slots" when 3 of their 6 weren't
Background
The colon in the first sentence seems very out of place, and "namely" is unnecessary too
Why is the Honolulu connecting flight relevant?
"Hoesch and Paige were the last American Samoan athletes to compete at the Games" -- as with the Liechtenstein article, this seems like a detail irrelevant to the athletes themselves as it likely just reflects that their events were scheduled last
Pipe the link for "Parade of Nations" since the "2020 Summer Olympics" portion of it goes without saying
The first (and only) sentence of the first paragraph of "Opening and closing ceremonies" is very long and should be split into 2 or 3 sentences
"the parade of nations" → if this is capitalized in the first paragraph it should be capitalized here
Competitors
"The following is the list of number of competitors in the Games" → is this section/table necessary? All athletes are already listed, with their sports, in the "Delegation" section
Athletics
I (and, I suspect, other readers) don't know what a "universality slot" is - would you be able to explain it briefly here without taking away from the American Samoa-specific focus of the article?
Second sentence is very long
"Crumpton had never competed in the 100 metres or any sprinting event" → "any sprinting event" covers the 100m, so you can remove "the 100 meters or"
The last part of the last sentence in that para, starting "...with the only..." is a little awkwardly-worded tense-wise
Sailing
"The pair" → this kind of comes out of nowhere, as it's not immediately obvious that we've moved focus from the boats to the sailors
Swimming
"The swimmers were the first American Samoan athletes to compete at these Games" → as above, this detail is not relevant to them specifically
"against swimmers" → don't need to clarify that she was competing against swimmers in a swimming competition
Is it unusual for a men's heat to have three competitors but a women's heat to have eight?
Weightlifting
"who would compete" → "who competed"
"Jungblut is a returning Olympian" → change to past tense
That's all I've got on a first read-through, no rush in getting to these!
