• GA approved 8 days before original DYK nomination; accepted. Long enough, well referenced. QPQ done. However, these lines are copied verbatim from the source:

  • Re-worded. Hawkeye7 (talk) 08:04, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
• She joined the South African Paralympic program and competed at the 2009 Paralympic Youth Games.
  • Re-worded. Hawkeye7 (talk) 08:04, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
• Also, footnote 2 doesn't say anything about why her family moved to Australia.
  • It says: Her architect father Peter brought the family to Australia, largely to get the best medical attention.

• The hook is over 200 characters.
  • By five. Trimmed the hook slightly Hawkeye7 (talk) 02:36, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

• Thanks for the fixes. Hook ref verified and cited inline. Here's a suggestion for shortening the hook:
