** Agnes Skinner has a flashback to competing in pole vaulting at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki...while nine months pregnant with Seymour. In real life, a woman at full term in a pregnancy would not be medically cleared to compete in any sport. While women have competed at the Olympics while pregnant, they have done so in the very early stages of their pregnancies.

** By 2010, demonstration sports had been phased out of the Olympic Games, because the number of medal sports had expanded to the point that there simply wasn't room for them anymore. These days, sports wanting to gain Olympic status stage separate events during the Games themselves, with support from the IOC. Examples of this include a wushu tournament during the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing[[note]]Wushu is a martial art developed in China during the 1950s, and is considered a central piece of Chinese culture.[[/note]], [=eSports=] tournaments during the 2016 Summer Games in Rio and 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, and a snow volleyball (that's right, snow volleyball) exhibition in Pyeongchang.
