Comment: I started this article 5 years ago when he first went to the Olympics and have now expanded it in preparation of his second Olympic appearance. Absolutely love this artwork, with the oars being replaced by lightsabers. It would be cool if this could be published on the day that the men's eight competition starts with the heats on Sunday, 25 July. The day's rowing (Tokyo time) will be from 9:00 to 11:40. I'll have a go at expanding Michael Brake (i.e. the other guy in the photo) next.

5x expanded by Schwede66 (talk). Self-nominated at 20:03, 5 July 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Five-fold expanded, with thorough sourcing and neutral presentation. No significant Earwig pings; QPQ completed; eye-catching art is freely licensed and relates to the hook. Looks good to me! Innisfree987 (talk) 17:11, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
