- Comment – I have also expanded the article 2022 European Athletics Championships – Women's 400 metres hurdles five times, so maybe it could be included in an alternative hook, but I haven't figured out how to do this or what that hook should be. – Editør (talk) 23:27, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Well, if you can come up with a hook that covers both topics, we can simply add this. I can do the mechanics for you, just give me a ping. However, I struggle to think of a good hook for such a double-nomination. If you can't think of something suitable, simply nominate this as a separate listing. Also, please see Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Olympic hooks table for your info. Schwede66 04:51, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for offering your help. I was also struggling with the hook, the ones I can think of lose focus, so I will just leave it like this. The first round heats of the women's 400 m hurdles at the 2024 Summer Olympics are on 5 August, according to this schedule, so maybe this hook could be added on that day? – Editør (talk) 08:17, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Schwede66: I have nominated the second article for another DYK, you could also use that one for the Olympic theme, let me know if you require me to do anything for this. – Editør (talk) 11:11, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

- Ok, I shall review this. Schwede66 21:38, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
This is a new GA, nominated the day it passed. Plenty long enough. Everything is sourced. The article is neutral and Earwig didn't bring up anything. The hook is interesting and referenced. The image license is fine and whilst not the highest resolution, the photo would be fine on the main page. QPQ has been done. The one suggestion for potential improvement that I can offer, and I note that this won't hold up the DYK, is that I wouldn't start this sentence with a time as, in my view, it violates (at least in spirit) MOS:NUMNOTES: 1.74 seconds after Bol, Louise Maraval of France finished second in 54.23 seconds...
. Instead, you could consider:Louise Maraval of France finished second in 54.23 seconds, 1.74 seconds after Bol...
. Good work! Schwede66 22:29, 4 July 2024 (UTC)- Thank you for your review. I've changed the sentence to "Louise Maraval of France finished in second place 1.74 seconds after Bol, setting a new personal best (PB) of 54.23 seconds, ...". – Editør (talk) 11:00, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
