Iztok Puc

(

... that team handball player Iztok Puc represented three different countries at the Summer Olympics (Yugoslavia, Croatia and Slovenia), winning gold with Croatia in 1996?

Comment: he is also the only handball player to have done so (as supported by sources), and while gold with Croatia is informative, it is strictly speaking not the "interesting" part, so here's an alt hook (also with slightly different linking and punctuation):

ALT1: ... that Iztok Puc is the only handball player to have represented three different countries at the Summer Olympics: Yugoslavia, Croatia and Slovenia? GregorB (talk) 16:11, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

The hooks are accurate, short enough and quite interesting (I prefer ALT1) and cited (AGF for the foreign language sources but facts are supported by ref 1 anyway). The article is well referenced and no copyvio problems found with the one english language source, so AGF for the others. The expansion amount and the date both check out.
