Comment: Thought it a little interesting that a sprinter (short distance) would become one of the world's best marathon (long distance) coaches.

What makes this DYK-worthy? Many former athletes become coaches. (t · c) buidhe 23:53, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- As said above, Thought it a little interesting that a sprinter (short distance) would become one of the world's best marathon (long distance) coaches. – could try to develop an ALT though if that's not interesting enough. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:09, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
  - There's no indication in the hook that Rob was a top coach, only that he coached top athletes. (t · c) buidhe 00:11, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
    - I thought it was implied by developing Olympic gold medalists – but do you think it would be interesting enough if I clarified that? BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:13, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
      - I think it would definitely improve the hook... (t · c) buidhe 14:11, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
        Then ALT1 ... that Negussie Roba was an Olympic sprinter who later became a top marathon coach? BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:23, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
Full review needed now that a new hook has been supplied. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:07, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi BeanieFan11. This article, improved to GA status on the 30 September, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and copyvio-free. QPQ done and hooks short enough and cited. I think ALT1 is interesting enough. Best, Tenpop421 (talk) 16:16, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
