- Comment: More than 10x expanded, which started on 14 June. Image is a crop of the lead photo. I've put the original (2011) article creator into the credits; is this a done thing? Could we please run this on 23 July, when rowing is supposed to start in Tokyo and the heats for women's single scull are the second event on the schedule? (still not convinced that the Olympic Games will go ahead but we are getting closer and it's still not cancelled...) The heats will be between 8:30 h and 12:10 h Japan Standard Time (JST; UTC+09:00). Very conveniently, I see that Tokyo is in the local update times table. Note that I've also nominated Hannah Osborne in double scull with the same request. If we do run this on 23 July, the original hook is the more relevant one as it refers to an event that is starting on that day.

Interesting life, good expansion on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. - The image is licensed and the crop shows well. I prefer the original hook anyway. In case it coincides with the race, we might add "today". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:16, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
