General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is long enough at 1,700 characters, no copyvio and QPQ is good. All of the hooks are pretty interesting but only ALT0 and ALT2 are adequately sourced. The source for ALT1 is not a secondary source, since it looks like Paralympic.org pulled the quote from Facebook and Youtube. My only other concern is that the article could do with better sourcing, as two out of five sources are profiles and one is of uncertain weight (the Disability Shooting Great Britain link). Only two are proper news articles which would meet guidelines. If one or two reliable sources got added, then I would be ready to approve ALT0 or ALT2 as is.

Article has been beefed up a lot with great sources, all three hooks are cited and interesting. Great job on this article by the way! Lorraine has a very interesting story. Do you have a preferred hook Victuallers?BuySomeApples (talk) 20:23, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @BuySomeApples: for the tick. Collateral benefit of the expansion is that her colleague Issy Bailey also now has an article and she is waiting at DYK too. I think Alt2 is the hookiest hook and its a step away from "...Ms X was the first medal winner..." Victuallers (talk) 08:32, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome @Victuallers:! I reviewed and approved the Issy Bailey nom. Keep up the great work!BuySomeApples (talk) 05:03, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
