Could you tell me the url for the official (IOC?) result list? We should compare the two. And by the way let's keep the discussion on this page.

My two primary references for all Olympic-related results are the IOC medal database
here and the official reports from each Games
in PDF format here. In the case of the women's high jump in 2000, both of these sources agree with each other that only a single bronze medal was awarded (to Bergqvist), so that's why I made the changes. I have been going through all the Games adding up the per-sport medal counts we have on Wikipedia, comparing to the official totals to find any discrepancies, and this was one I found.
As for the 4x400 relay, the IOC database still showed USA with the gold, not NGR, so I googled around to try to see if the IOC database or the IAAF database was more current. I found the references to the CAS ruling that seemed to support the IOC list with USA-NGR-JAM as official, so that's why I made those changes.
The Sydney results PDF perfectly matches the IAAF result in terms of each attempt ("x" and "o"), but it also clearly shows Pantelimon as ranked 4th instead of a tie for 3rd. There are tie rankings further down that list at 9th and 11th, so some tie-breaking method had to have been used between Pantelimon and Bergqvist. I have no answer to that, but I still think our best approach is to align with the IOC/SOCOG results as our primary sources.

Wow, that's some persistence you have! As always, I think the best approach is to quote both sets of sources and explain the inconsistency. There will be a non-trivial "ripple effect" here, as all the medal counts on several pages assume that there was only one bronze, so that set of explanatory footnotes will need to be placed on all those pages. Good work!
