Grace Prendergast
Prendergast in July 2021
- ... that New Zealand's Grace Prendergast (pictured) was the highest ranked female rower in the world in 2019? Source: "Grace Prendergast and her pair partner Kerri Gowler jumped from 6th and 9th to 1st and 2nd respectively in 2019." (World Rowing Federation)
- ALT1:... that New Zealand's Grace Prendergast (pictured) is currently the highest ranked female rower in the world? Source: As above, but with the added understanding that World Rowing publishes the Top 10 every October but didn't do so in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as these rankings are worked out based on performance at international regattas plus the rule that you can only be in the top 10 if you've medalled in the current year. They thus couldn't publish this as nobody competed in any international regatta that year. Hence the 2019 ranking still stands until October 2021. (rules for top 10 ranking)

- Comment: My preference is for ALT1 but I understand that one has to get their head around how these rankings are produced to deduct that there could not have been a ranking published in 2020 (i.e. I don't have a source that specifically states that there is no top 10 ranking for 2020). Some editors may argue that this is bordering on OR, hence ALT0 as an alternative. It would be cool if this could be published on the day that the women's pair competition starts with the heats on Saturday, 24 July (and yes, I appreciate that's only 10 days away). The day's rowing (Tokyo time) will be from 8:30 to 12:30. Note that I have rowers nominated at DYK for days either side of this.

The article is expanded fivefolds, long enough, referenced, neutral and no copyvio obvious. The hooks are sourced and interesting. I agree that ALT1 seems like the better hook but ALT0 seems to be the safer choice. The images used in the article are free. QPQ done. Nice work! Corachow (talk) 06:29, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
- As an aside, I've just had this article go through a GA assessment. Schwede66 01:03, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
