Improved to Good Article status by Mz7 (talk). Self-nominated at 06:02, 29 November 2016 (UTC).

  • Article promoted to GA status two days before nominated here. Hasn't appeared on DYK before. There's an entire section, "Use of Vinicius in Olympic wrestling events", that backs up the hook, which is interesting, and the section is well sourced. Article is written neutrally. No copyvio, results are skewed by a quote. Good to go. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:27, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
