 * The article was created and nominated during the same day, this meeting the "new" criteria.
 * It does not appear to be a fragment of an pre-existing article or paraphrased from online sources.
 * It is long enough and the prose is neutral.
 * The hook is a bit wordy, I have proposed an ALT, but do understand that we need to be careful not to try predicting the future (there is always the possibility of injury or other hindrances) and words like "scheduled" are needed to convey that . Besides that, the hook is sourced and neutral.
 * QPQ was completed.
 * Symbol confirmed.svg: Overall, I think that it meets the criteria to pass. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  14:36, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Good point on the length of the original hook, I've trimmed it a bit but still think it's preferable to the ALT. Thanks - Ba se me nt 12  (T.C) 14:55, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * It's ok, it wasn't something that could derail the nomination, just esthetics. -   Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  12:54, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
