I recently visited Shooting at the 1920 Summer Olympics – Men's 300 metre free rifle, three positions and there was no wikilink from the article to 300 metre rifle three positions.
As one who doesn't know a lot about shooting as a sport, this was a big gap in Wikipedia's linking. It wasn't hard to find the relevant article, but not nearly so easy as it should have been. The phrasing of the article was also in need of work.
Looking around, there are an enormous number of articles that use this infobox template [1], and many perhaps even most of them seem to need work of this sort.
ISTM that a good start would be to have a parameter in this infobox template linking to an article on the sport. Presumably all Olympic sports are notable enough for such articles.
My suggestion is to simply use the event = parameter, and wikilink the line this creates to an article of the same name. If this exists then it's a good link, if not then an article probably should be created at that name, and if not again then a redirect at this name would certainly be appropriate. In any case, redlinks created by this coding will be rare, and those that are will all be helpful ones.

This template's code base is a huge mess of manual HTML and nested tables. I've converted it into a proper {{ infobox}} in the sandbox: a selection of side-by-side comparisons is available on the test cases page. If there are no objections I'll deploy this code in a while, and then work on updating all of the many places that this code was copy-pasted around (such as {{ infobox Pan American Games event}}).

At this moment the template generates "2016" for the next event when the games parameter = 2012 Summer. Please open this up for the 2016 Olympic events. NED33 ( talk) 09:40, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
I've made the change, but on reflection, I am contemplating undoing it for now. There are no individual event articles for 2016 at this time, and in my opinion, it is still far too early to create them. Any event information can be included on the main sport pages (e.g. Sailing at the 2016 Summer Olympics) and I also see that most of those are still nothing more than redirects into the 2016 Summer Olympics article. I think we won't need 2016 per-event articles until early 2016. — Andrwsc ( talk · contribs) 17:17, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Regarding to the comment of Andrwsc: I think the infobox is not mis-used. All the 2012 and 2014 Olympic sports are using this template (or a sports specific one). Sander.v.Ginkel ( talk) 10:13, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
And a third comment, why is 2016 hidden for the Summer Olympics, but 2018 not for the Winter Olympics? In my opinion this should be vice versa. Sander.v.Ginkel ( talk) 10:18, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Golf at the Games of the XXXI Olympiad |
Golf at the Games of the XXXI Olympiad |
Sometimes I find cases such as Golf at the 2016 Summer Olympics and Judo at the 2016 Summer Olympics, where the second line of the title, "at the Games of the XXXI Olympiad", dwarfs the first line "Golf"/"Judo", rather unsettling from an aesthetic standpoint. The sport itself is the subject of the article, but it is dwarfed by its subtitle in the infobox. I propose a text design change where the second line is wrapped in <small> tags, so that it can be brought down to, at best, three quarters of the width of the infobox instead of the full width, and properly representing its place in the infobox as a subtitle with a smaller font size, allowing the titular sport to not only be on aesthetically equal ground with the subtitle, but with smaller titles such as "Golf" and "Judo" being able to cement their prominence as the title, visually, with a relatively larger font size. I believe there is no issue with MOS:ACCESS, as is usually the case with <small> tags, since applying the tags here won't decrease the font size below what is already the standard on the page; if anything, because it is still highlighted in bold, it will still be easier to read that most of the page that is the same font size, but isn't bold font (Examples on the right – current infobox with no application on the subtitle on top, proposed change with <small> tags wrapped around the subtitle on bottom).

Golf at the Games of the XXXI Olympiad |
I have two requests. The first is the one I had proposed in an earlier post on this talk page entitled "Edit request - wrap second line of title in <small> tags", to which the only reply was objectively unhelpful. I proposed that <small> tags be wrapped around the second line of the title, so that, especially in articles where the name of the sport has a smaller name, such as Golf at the 2016 Summer Olympics and Judo at the 2016 Summer Olympics, the subject of the article isn't completely dwarfed in the infobox. The titular sport will be on aesthetically equal ground with the subtitle that way, and smaller titles such as "Golf" and "Judo" will able to cement their visual prominence as the title. Once again, I believe there to be no MOS:ACCESS issue, since the smaller font size would still be larger than the majority of the text in the article, anyways.
The second change I want to propose is to change the chronology text and arrows. Currently it's formatted as "<<year" and "year>>". I propose it to be changed to "year ←" and "→ year", with "←" and "→" replacing the rather code-y and non-aesthetically pleasing "<<" and ">>". These arrows honestly look like an element left over from the time Wikipedia mostly used blocky, code-inspired infoboxes. The same formatting for year chronology can be found in sports templates such as Infobox International Football Competition, and non-sport templates such as Infobox election. Though, these templates differ in where the arrow is placed in relation to the text. I personally prefer the text to be on the outside of the arrow, but just having these particular arrows there is all that matters. The changes I propose are visualised on the right, using Golf as an example; the top infobox is as it is now, and the bottom one is with the changes. Philip Terry Graham 04:30, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I believe that per WP:SDNONE, this template would be better suited to provide an automatic short description of "none". The format "{{event}} events at the Olympics" is a prime example of why SDNONE exists, in that it heavily duplicates content from the article title. Also, it actually provides less detail compared to the article title, rather than more. For example, "Swimming at the Olympics" really not helpful when the corresponding title is Swimming at the 1996 Summer Olympics. Thrakkx ( talk) 18:33, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

The format "{{event}} events at the Olympics" is a prime example of why SDNONE exists, in that it heavily duplicates content from the article title. Also, it actually provides less detail compared to the article title, rather than more. For example, "Swimming at the Olympics" really not helpful when the corresponding title is Swimming at the 1996 Summer Olympics. Thrakkx ( talk) 18:33, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
