 * comment only I don't understand the hook - 7 seconds or .07 seconds - why are both of these notable? Victuallers (talk) 10:57, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * He took 7 seconds off his personal best which allowed him to qualify (beat the other skaters) by .07. If the fact is confusing as written, dropping the "by seven hundredths of a second" part would be fine. --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:14, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg hold for Winter Olympics? - Please feel free to overcheck this review as I have removed and simplified a lot of text which was too much like a sports report and not enough like a wiki article. However the core of the article is good and timely for the winter Olympic. Length is fine, lots of refs, hook is cited and of good length. Alt1 is strongly preferred. I have recreated the hook below as per @ThaddeusB's suggestion above. Victuallers (talk) 14:15, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is new enough, long enough, well-referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. ALT1 hook is definitely better; hook ref verified and cited in line. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 14:52, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
