[edit] Parameters

In our enthusiasm for all things infoboxed I think we went overboard in this case. I would suggest the following parameters are truly trivial and should be dropped from the template:

• Officially opened by
• Athlete's Oath
• Judge's Oath
• Olympic Torch

Who was chosen to be the final torch bearer can be more than trivial in some cases, but I would think those cases are best served with a paragraph in the article itself, explaining the significance of the choice.

Missing from the infobox, and significant enough to warrant inclusion, is how much it cost to host the Olympics. 66.167.139.210 20:15, 14 February 2006 (UTC).
