 * Symbol question.svg Article is long enough, uses in-line citations, is neutrally written and was nominated within seven days of becoming a good article. Spot-checking does not find issues with plagiarism, copyvio, or unduly close paraphrasing. QPQ is complete. I have corrected the source for the hook here in the nomination. I also moved the correct source immediately after the statement in the article itself.
 * The hook itself, while under 200 characters, I feel is a bit long. Could you shorten it, perhaps drop the fact he didn't advance to the semis? Regards -- Ianblair23 (talk)
 * Could we just cut out "to the next round"?:

 * There's a lot of national record-setting at the Olympics, but I think that the average person would find it more interesting that someone won their heat, set a national record, and yet still didn't advance, so I think that adds to the hookiness. Canadian   Paul  15:49, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
