  • Article date, length, and general compliance with policy all check out. Suggested hook is interesting and verified by inline citation. I suggest holding hook for use during the Olympics, as per nominators request. --ThaddeusB (talk) 23:00, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
  • I think the inserted phrase after "that" doesn't read as well. I'd suggest doing it as a piped link, thusly:

  • I don't think doing it like that is a good idea, it could give the impression that she was only the first in 2008, perhaps it would work okay if the comma were removed from the original hook? - Basement12 (T.C) 20:21, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
  • I wouldn't pipe "Olympics" to "2008 Summer Olympics", but ALT1 w/o the piping would be fine. Otherwise, the phrase can be set off by commas: "... that, at the 2008 Summer Games, Chloe Magee ..." My personal preference would be for ALT1 minus the piping, as the year doesn't really at anything a hook that includes the date, as otherwise readers will naturally assume it is talking about the 2012 games. --ThaddeusB (talk) 18:44, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Sorry, but this is even tighter, I think:

My new preference is for:

A hook without a date will likely lead the reader to (inaccurately) assume the 2012 games are being discussed.--ThaddeusB (talk) 02:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
