nice work. Article creation checks out, no copyvio, hook is interesting and not too long and cited inline, QPQ is done, this is good to go. And talk about learning something everyday: solo synchronised swimming?? What a time to be alive! The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 12:19, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So, what has happened ?[edit]

According to the article, Sylvie only retired from synchronized swimming to pursue other things.

And, what has she pursued/done over the last 43 years ?

That's part of her life and should be part of her bio here at Wikipedia. 2600:8800:785:9400:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 01:08, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
