- I'll review this. JTtheOG (talk) 00:20, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
- Article expansion is new enough and long enough. The article is well-written and fully sourced with citations to multiple publications. The hook fact checks out and appears in the article, and I'd say it's pretty interesting for a world-class athlete to think that, but especially so if he said it in public. You could probably even work "bland" into the hook if you wanted to. There are no identifiable copyvio issues (one source shows a 20% similarity score, but there's no violation). This looks good to go upon completion of second QPQ. JTtheOG (talk) 20:00, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks, completed the second QPQ @JTtheOG: BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:39, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
