Template:Cite sports-reference displays an external link to a web page at Sports-Reference.com. It is implemented via the {{Cite web}} template for use as a reference within an article.

Links to Olympics at Sports-Reference.com, also known as SR/Olympics, are archived since the Sports Reference Olympic site closed on 14 May 2020. The web archive defaults to Memento Project which searches multiple sites to find an archived link. The archive date defaults to 4 December 2016 because pages after that display incorrect output for extended characters. A specific archive may be specified via the |archive-url= and |archive-date= parameters.
