5x expanded by Canadian Paul (talk). Self-nominated at 13:38, 14 November 2016 (UTC).


 * ✅ Expanded & nominated on 14 November, expanded enough (357 characters to 1978 characters), and article is within policy.
 * ✅ Hook is short enough, interesting, and supported by, plus also.
 * Couple of notes on the hook: I bolded the link to Egypt at the 1956 Summer Olympics. Also not sure if "it" or "they" is better grammatically to describe Egypt, I think either can be used.
 * ✅ QPQ done.
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:57, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
