Background[edit]

"Ingrid Kristiansen, who was the world record holder, having run the 1985 London Marathon in 2:21:06, opted to run the 10,000 metres instead." - what was the reason for the change?

No specific reason is given in the source. Harrias ^talk 07:27, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"a couple of weeks before the race" - how many weeks exactly and where did she break her foot?

I've added more detail to this. Harrias ^talk 07:27, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Summary[edit]

"The race started at 16:55 local time" - The Times source says it was 15:55 local time

The Times says that it was 15:55 BST, which would equate to 16:55 CEST in Rome. Harrias ^talk 07:30, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Mota took the lead before the race left the stadium, and extended it as the race progressed." - repetition of the word "race"

Changed the first instance to "marathon". Harrias ^talk 07:30, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The second wikilinks for Grete Waitz and the 1983 marathon are not needed

Removed. Harrias ^talk 07:30, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Martin, who was expected to the most likely to challenge Mota" - a word is missing from the text indiciated in bold

Added "be". Harrias ^talk 07:30, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Will put on hold to allow the nominator to address or query the six points raised above. MWright96 (talk) 07:18, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
