  • ... that New Zealand academic and runner Roger Robinson has continued competing in races into his 80s despite knee replacement surgery in both knees? Source: [1]: "That old guy making the funny noises can still make those replaced knees − and the rest of his body − move along at unprecedented paces for his age group."

  • The article is new enough and long enough. It has a neutral tone and in-line citations. Most of the sources are news articles. QPQ done. The hook is interesting to a wide audience and I was able to verify the source. I think it's a really well done and interesting article. October(BYU) (talk) 20:12, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
