Delete Not enough notability. It's got one source about one thing that happened, and nothing else. If this is a notable sentence, the article itself isn't notable enough.

Snow Keep It's pretty clear this passes
WP:NOLYMPICS and as such the article has almost zero chance of being delete. That said, I can understand where the nominator is coming from with the lack of sourcing. It's unfortunate that the notability guidelines about athletes aren't stricter about it, personally I don't think every single Olympian in history should automatically notable, but they are what they are. --

Keep He obviously meets
WP:NOLYMPICS. While I do agree with Adamant1 that I've seen articles that meet
WP:NOLYMPICS that seem to fail to meet
WP:GNG, I don't think a 5th place Olympic finish can be ignored. I don't feel the same about someone who comes in 78th.

You have pretty high standards if you believe finishing 5th at the Olympics does not meet
WP:SPORTSBASIC. I would claim it's a more significant achievement that playing in a pro soccer game or one MLB game.

Papaursa I find it difficult to compare these two, as a player in a professional soccer team participates in multiple games over many years, whereas an olympic is a few months. If you literaly meant one game, I'd definitely vote to delete them if notability was
temporary and restricted to the game they participated in. Walwal20talk ▾

I think it's also important to remember that he competed before the internet and it's quite likely that there was significant coverage of him in Austria over the years when he was a competitor at various European and world championships, as well as at the Olympics.
