Heather Turland

 * ... that mother of four Heather Turland won the marathon at the 1998 Commonwealth Games at age 38, despite having first run the distance only two years earlier?
 * ALT1: ... that mother of four Heather Turland broke her leg in 1998, but won the gold at that year's Commonwealth Games marathon at age 38?

 * Comment: I would appreciate it if this hook could be scheduled for the morning of 27 July, when the 2014 Commonwealth Games marathon is set to start in Glasgow.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is new enough and long enough. The original hook now has an inline citation (I added it) but I have struck ALT1 as it has no inline citation and is not backed up by the source used a few sentences later, which mentions the leg being injured rather than broken. QPQ done and I detected no policy issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:16, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
